How to avoid accidental social media disasters
June 29, 2011 | 
Author Do you have an active social media life? If the answer is a ‘Yes’ you need to be reading this post.
Post the ‘Weinergate’ incident, when an accidental tweet with an obscene photo that should have been made via direct message to an on-line girlfriend went public on Rep. Weiner’s timeline forcing his resignation, it is time to list out ways to avoid such social media disasters.
Armed with Android smartphones and numerous social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter is by itself a challenging situation. So you have your personal Twitter and Facebook account, and your companies’/clients’ both on a computer and sometimes even on your smartphone. Juggling these daily is daunting to say the least.
The other aspect is your own social life and how you conduct yourself in social circles, what pictures you post on Twitter and Facebook and so on. Ask around and you’re sure to know quite a number of people who have suffered the ‘Freudian slip’ or in this case the ‘Freudian click’ sending the wrong message to an ex-flame/spouse. You end up dealing with not just the horror of such a predicament but also the sinking feeling that it could have been easily avoided.

Apple in patent row with HTC
Apple iPhone, which was originally launched in 2007 is still grappling with many issues – legal and otherwise. If it were the connectivity issues and deficient functions and features in its earlier days; now it is the patents and copy right issues that are plaguing the Apple smart phone.
Apple is grappling with copy right issues with HTC and has taken legal action against the Taiwan based phone maker HTC, alleging that it has infringed as many as 20 patents owned by Apple that are used in the iPhone.
HTC is famous for its many sleek handsets including Nexus One, the first handset to be branded by Google apart from many other handsets that employ Google’s Android operating system. With Google defending its mobile handset partner of HTC, it is going to be a tussle between the giants. Though Google is not a party to the law suit, it has decided to throw its weight behind HTC, its partner in developing the Android technology. Google chief Eric Schmidt had resigned last year from the Apple board of directors alleging conflict of interest in the wake of increasing competition between Google and Apple in Android Vs iPhone competition to wrestle the market share.
At least some industry watchers are rather skeptical of the timing of the law suit of Apple, which surprisingly coincided with the launch of the Android phones and many feel that it could be a delaying tactic of Apple to slow down the Android market before Google edges them out in the race. By targetting HTC, which manufactures a range of Android and Windows Mobile devices, Apple may be trying to put the entire industry on notice and to ensure its monopoly in this technology. With speculations gathering momentum, the need of the hour for Apple is to clear the apprehensions of atleast some consumers who have started thinking that Apple has gone overboard by clipping others in the fray in marketing its product.
We at Reputation Management For.com feel that a sound PR policy will not just protect the domain and the technology of Apple but also can clear the air before the customers start wondering who has stolen whose technology? The need of the hour for Apple is to safeguard the trust and the goodwill reposed in this world famous brand by the millions of apple fans all over the world.
