I really can’t type this fast enough.

I found out just now about a phenomenal mess up by Vodafone on Twitter, when the brand tweeted this massively offensive statement today:

By the time you read this it may already be huge news. If not by then, certainly by tomorrow.

Here is a quick screenshot of their attempt to put things right, by seemingly messaging each and every one of their followers to apologise:

At Alienation Digital we are always evangelising the strengths of Twitter to clients and prospective clients alike because there has never been a platform like it in terms of narrowing the distance between you and your customers online.

However, if it’s going to work you really need to have trust in your staff.

I feel the implications of this are going to be huge.
