Editor's Notes
- -”United Breaks Guitars” song by Canadian musician David Carroll and the Sons of Maxwell. -Song chronicles the real life experience of how his guitar was broken during a trip on United Airlines in 2008. -Carroll saw baggage handlers throwing guitars on the tarmac in Chicago O’Hare on his flight from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Omaha, Nebraska. -Arrived in Omaha and found his $3,500 guitar broken. -Carroll requested compensation from the airline for nine months before he decided to make the video. -Video was posted on July 6 th , 2009 One day – 150,000 views (Prompting a call from United) Three days – 500,000 views One Month – 3,000,000 views One Year – Over 9,000,000 views -Media reported the story globally. United formally apologized for incident, donated $3,000 to a charity and uses the video as part of customer service training. -Within four days of the video being posted – United’s Stock price fell 10% - costing stockholders $180,000,000 -footnote – Carroll now speaks on customer service.

- -In April of 2009, two Domino employees in the Conover, North Carolina store released a series of YouTube videos in which they “playfully molested food products” that were allegedly delivered to customers. -In a few days they ended up with felony charges, more than a million disgusted viewers and a major company facing a public relations crisis. -References to the video were five of the first 12 results on the first page of Google for the search “Dominos” -the perception of the company’s quality among consumers went from positive to negative within in a week according to the research firm YouGov. -Firm used a civil suit, removal of the video from YouTube and a new Twitter account to comment on crisis.
- -In the spring of 2010 – Nestle had a serious social media meltdown. The Company’s Facebook and YouTube’s videos were under relentless pressure from Greenpeace over Nestle’s policies of buying palm oil. -Started when Greenpeace create a video that likened eating a Kit Kat bar to killing an Orangutan. The video was placed on YouTube and quickly reached 250,000 views. -Nestle moved to have the video removed which obviously angered Greenpeace. Greenpeace instructed its members to start making comments on the Nestle Facebook page. -Nestle then counter attack on Facebook by removing critical comments and of posts of an altered image. -This caused a flood of Greenpeace members to flock to the Nestle page. The negative comments were too numerous to remove at this point. -The Nestle Facebook was actually managed by a third party marketing company and the company began to make critical comments of Greenpeace on Nestle’s fanpage. -And then silence on the part of Nestle. For over a week Nestle said nothing. In the social media world this is a lifetime. -What to learn – have a clear social media plan, have a social media staff of experienced managers. And realize above all else – your social media page is not truly owned by you.
