using the Internet and the tools, such

The Trigger For Hate Sites…
“….It was not the poor
treatment received from
United but, rather, the
subsequent disregard for
a serious, polite
complaint, which led to
the creation of the Web
pages……”
The Attitude Behind Hate Sites…
"Although I started the site
because of a small complaint, now 2
years and 20,000 plus postings later
I realize how much more widespread
and serious American Express'
wrongdoing is. It has led me to
realize that I am doing a real public
service by alerting the public to the
dangers of dealing with Amex."
The Attitude Behind Hate Sites…
“This website has been started
because CEO Jeff Mezger and
other executives at KB Home,
have chosen to ignore us and
our many requests to "buy
back" this home…..”

How Breaking News is Changing
The Changing Landscape of Reporting
News….
“This is a story that broke on
Twitter first and continued to unfold
from there. Eyewitnesses were
posting comments about the shock
of seeing the plane 'dive' and
amazement of passengers walking
out of the wreckage. It was a
dramatic image of a fractured plane
posted on Twitter.com that was the
first worldwide view of the Turkish
Airlines crash.”
So, Why is Twitter so Important?
