Consumers Make (Parody) Ads Too. What happens when the consumer fights back against the advertiser (using social media channels)? Now that the customer has access to most of the same channels as companies, what happens when they decide to create anti-ads? Everyone from time to time has made a teensy little negative tweet on Twitter […]
Keep Facebook Private
Facebook is used (mostly) by members as a gated community. They want to keep information within the network, not have it published in the newspaper.

YouTube: At war with Warner Music Group
Just kinda bookmarking this one – at war with your customer and forcing your customer to go to war with you, en masse.
