As this TechCrunch article shows, it is amazingly easy to damage your reputation quickly using social media:
@KennethCole Sets New Bar For Social Media Stupidity [Update: And Removes Tweet]. The amount of backlash Kenneth Cole took from this one tweet is remarkable. It’s worth reading the article to see just how quickly things spiraled downward.

The Globe and Mail‘s Hugh Thompson has an excellent run down on this. The key quote from the article:

Assuming an inflated cost of 10 cents per gigabyte, it means that Bell, Shaw and Rogers are charging consumers between 10 and 50 times what it costs them to deliver data. This on top of their regular monthly Internet pricing! While I agree that heavy users should be prepared to pay more once they have reached their bandwidth caps, a fair price would be much closer to 10 cents per GB than the inflated $1-to-$5-per-gigabyte charge sanctioned by the CRTC.

I highly recommend the article: great analysis and reporting.

What can I say? A) This is brilliant B) I have seen too many Nicolas Cage movies (though mostly the ones above the X axis).
