Social media fails were showcased at Social Media Week’s Suxorz event in New York – I try not to take myself too seriously, so it’s nice to do the same with the work that we do (PR, not ER!).
There’s a great recap of Suxorz nominees and winners at Smart Blog – below are my favorite social media fails:
* @CVS_cares: It seems CVS doesn’t actually care – you can’t write to them since their tweets are protected
* @Dennys: For nearly half a year, the food chain was directing consumers to the wrong Twitter feed (that of a Taiwanese kid)
* Starbucks: After opening the first Starbucks in Budapest due to a Facebook group petition, the brand had Facebook shut down this group, so Starbucks could start their own official page
What’s your favorite social media fail? Share it with us here – happy Friday!
