Evolution of Customer Care

Today was another #SMChat session which focused on customer service. This tweetchat session is held totally in public view on twitter only using a specific #hashtag. Kind of like a flashmob but only an exchange of opinions here.

There are many examples of this on the web, Dave Carrol’s United Breaks Guitars got a lot of press at the time and has almost 10Mil YouTube hits to date.

>Is posting a song on YouTube the new comment box?

Does this effect companies is one part of this but why can’t they just get it right? Do they really just not care and figure the customer will come back anyway?
