Today I’m going to talk about social media FAILS.\n
At SXSW, Corey and I had the opportunity to hear Marla Erwin speak. Marla is an Interactive Art Director at Whole Foods Market. \nMarla describes social media FAILS as: A long term erosion of trust among a significant group of customers or fans due to the misuse or failure to use the power of social media.\n
One of my favorite social media FAILs is the Chipotle Cat story, and not just because I love Chipotle burritos and kittens.\n

\nTell the truth.\n
\nTell the truth.\n
\nOn February 3, 2011, Kenneth Cole sent a tweet from his corporate account stating…\n#Cairo was being used as a hashtag to discuss the protests in Egypt.\nPeople responded negatively immediately on Facebook and Twitter.\n
\nWithin an hour, Cole deleted the tweet and apologized on Facebook and Twitter.\n
\nTell the truth.\n
\nSoon after, a Kenneth Cole parady account called @KennethColePR was created that tweets even more offensive comments. \n
The same effect that gets a positive message out so quickly via the popular social networks serves to accelerate and compound a negative message, but even more so. \n
\nThink before you tweet. \nThe company could have made a financial contribution to relief efforts in the region, but as far as I know, did not.\n
\nTell the truth.\n
\n10.3 million views and counting.\nGuitar cost $3,500.\nCarroll only asked for $1,200 in flight vouchers. \nCosts of damage control are far greater than the cost of reimbursing for guitar.\n
