This story in today’s Age (and many other newspapers around the world) is very amusing. Click the link if you have ANYTHING to do with business, advertising, marketing or communications.
We keep trying to tell people, you cannot do one thing in social media (or any other type of communications) and another thing in “real life”. It will come back to bite you. Big time. Just like NYPD, who got their “hashtag” hijacked, very embarrassingly.
Remember: the best “social media” your business or organisation can use is the oldest one of all. It’s called “Word of Mouth”. People who want to say nice things about you to their friends, family and colleagues, and do.
You don’t got that, you don’t got nuttin’. And if you got nuttin’, don’t broadcast the fact to the world.
Incidentally, social media messages are often left to the least senior member of a communications department while the marketing manager and other important people focus on the sexy stuff like TV commercials and big colourful press ads.
That would be a mistake.
To enjoy the full list of “F*** Ups” we have spotted, reported or re-reported, just put F*** Up in the search box on the top left of our page. Enjoy 🙂
Well, This Is What I Think 
I, and I imagine anyone else with an ounce of sense, could see that coming from the invitation. Why on earth didn’t they expect what they got? Do they really believe their own BS? Scary.
