Notas del editor

  1. A lot of businesses are concerned about negative feedback that they get on Facebook and Twitter and other social media. The temptation often exists to even delete that feedback. But if you delete the feedback or simply don’t respond, that's a response that's saying, "I don't care about my customers." and you're inviting them to go off somewhere else and complain even louder. So, the solution, instead, is to post publicly saying that you're gonna deal with the issue privately. That way you deescalate the situation from the public landscape, but you solve the problem, and more important, you tell the world that you are the kind of company that cares about its customers. After numerous blogs, videos and social media messages were sent showing how to do it and commenting negatively on the locks, and a feature in the New York Times – Kryptonite didn’t even respond. A huge failure and one that goes against one of the main pieces of advice for using social media – always deal with complaints; it could really help your product development team.
