Angry Customers on Twitter
On more than one occasion I’ve seen angry tweets fired off at companies with accounts on Twitter. These people were never angry with the person who has to answer them, though.
Today I posed a question to the people who follow the Twitter chat: #custserv (and anyone else who was listening). What follows is a transcript of the responses to my question.

When searching for internships, I’m often confronted by the above statement. As an older non-student seeking experience, my pet peeve is finding great internships that I cannot apply for because I’m not in school.

SWAGG Meets GenYChat on 12/15 and 12/22
December 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment
On December 15, 2010 and December 22, 2010 #GenYChat will be sponsored by the mobile application: SWAGG. The SWAGG app lets users give electronic gift cards that can be used with over 3000 stores and merchants including CBSSports.com, JCPenney, and Wet Seal. SWAGG is on a mission to Stand Up To Cancer, and they’re donating $1 up to $125K every time someone with an iPhone, Android, or Blackberry Torch downloads and registers the mobile app.
Not wanting to alienate #genychat participants, I did distribute a post seeking community feedback and all responses were in favor of the sponsored chat. There will be little difference to these chats. The sole addition will be three sponsored tweets that will go out at the beginning, middle, and end of the chat.

Harrisburg University, a small college located in Pennsylvania recently put its students and faculty on social probation.
