Notas del editor

  1. Disagree with Ed . . . I think it is set up that way Do agree with him about keeping up with the platforms . . . Messaging apps Pandora’s box has been opened . . . Could not stop if you wanted I am a relatively open book
  2. So let’s begin with establishing common ground An issue is anything that a user posts with negative sentiment that requires a response from the company. By this definition what we call a social media crisis isn’t so much . . . Many of the singular events on social media are just that — one time only events in which the damage to reputation MAY BE — and I stress MAY BE — minimal and time limited. The problem is assessing which ones are singular, time limited and minimal and which ones can undercut years of brand building. For this reason alone, most of the negative events on the social web that happen to organizations can be treated — from a communications perspective — as issues
  3. A crisis is . . . Many of the crisis events on the social web are a result of missing issue management policies and protocols, hesitancy or real time mismanagement
  4. Any approach to managing negative sentiment should have as its goal to . . . .
  5. Let’s start by stating categorically that the social web …
  6. Difficult to shine a light on dark or semi-dark social interaction
  7. Sometimes the way the social world seems to us . . . There is a kind of emotional contagion that happens when companies make egregious missteps on social.
  8. But the fact is some of the things that happen can leave you scratching your head.
  9. Paul Alves scheduled an Ask Me Anything on Reddit Accused the city of wasting $10 million on the Dufferin station renovation Someone challenged his vagueness and compared his comment to “Ford-calibre bluster’ Went ballistic and threatened to sue . . . Redditors pounced . . . He apologized
  10. Said they” remove posted content — including those those related to GMO and other political campaigns — that includes political commentary, deceptive and misleading claims, or are simply repeated postings and spam.” Marybeth Burns, VP corporate communications Were calls for consumer boycotts . . . Didn’t amount to much Always good to have recourse to your community guidelines.
  11. A hashtag to focus discussion on a personal experience with domestic abuse . . . An egregious example of a brand using a trending topic without understanding the context
  12. After dealing with many questions after the 2013 Blackfish documentary . . .accused it of poor management practices in looking after the fish . . . And attempt to be more transparent The most interesting question never answered . . . ‘Where does the poop go’? Similar things happened when the NYPD had an ‘ask me’ hahstag.
  13. In a deleted tweet, Clorox asked ‘Where’s the bleach? in relation to the new symbols, some of which have darker skin tones
  14. Eliasbeth von Thurn und Taxis style editor at large for Vogue from Paris Fashion Week . . .she apologized
  15. Timeliness example . . . If there are ten negative user posts in 30 minutes, then act quickly Remove your offensive comment if that is being called out, but don’t close your wall . . . Can be viewed as censorship . . . And people will just switch platform
  16. Apologies that don’t work . . Blame the victim: “I deeply regret that people misunderstood our intentions” Saddened by the impact apology without any recognition of one’s own role Deflecting responsibility apology . . . “We are very sorry we were misled by . . . “ Skirting personal responsibility . . . “We are sorry your personal information was hacked from our systems: Offshore hacking is a huge problem in the financial services industry
  17. Fix your internal processes + fix the problem Act human . . .
  18. Helena in Midsummer Night’s Dream She could also have said heart When managing a really serious issue on social, use all your platforms so that you each the minds and hearts of as many people as you can
  19. Buffer – social sharing platform that suffered a data breach
  20. Issue policies
