The site also searches blogs via Technorati and by performing searches on Wordpress.com. Snapshots After you run a search, you can narrow ...Contribute comment -

Zane shares an example of how far customer vigilantes will go to spread bad word of mouth about a company that refuses to resolve a problem. He took this picture near his home in Iowa. He passes the sign every day, which reminds him to not hire the company in question. Today, what starts as a local issue can blossom into a PR nightmare via Google and its voracious feeder system, social media.Contribute comment -
