Social Benefit or Social Disaster?
Tweets. Twittering. Six years ago, the only definition we would have known for these words would have involved birds and the sounds they make.1 Now, practically everyone knows that Twitter is also an Internet content service used by millions of people to trade short messages of
140 characters or less via the Web, cell phones, and other devices. And large companies are beginning to recognize the power of social media.
At Best Buy, CEO Brian Dunn was encouraged by his chief marketing officer a few years ago to try out social media. With some 180,000 employeesand most of those 24 years old or younger and heavily involved with social mediaDunn realized that it would be a great way to engage them and customers. He was soon talking to employees and customers every night at 10 oclock, tweeting on a variety of subjects including his experiences in Best Buy stores, his kids, and even the Minnesota Twins. However, at one point, Dunns Twitter account was hacked and an offensive tweet put out there for everyone to see. Overseas on business at the time, Dunn first received a panicked call from his VP of operations at 4 A.M. and then many other calls. The entire executive team went into crisis mode to control the potential damage.
