The effects of social media

In class yesterday a video was brought to my attention by a guest speaker. It was a video a musician made after a flight on united airlines. They broke his guitar and they were not going to pay for it so the musician created a video and posted it on youtube. Within a week he already had 3 million views. Thats crazy!!! Ultimately it go so much attention United had to do something about all the negative publicity and paid to fix the guys guitar. It is just so crazy to think the kind of impact that social media has and what can be accomplished with it.
