The Dark Side of Social Media
It's possible to build a business based on social media. Review sites are an example of such businesses. Many are niche sites that allow users to review restaurants or hotels. Some allow you to review any business - including yours.
This is a high interest area for me. I have written about how to deal with review sites. Today I found a bad way to deal with the issue: Sue Google.
The theory is that Google makes it possible for people to find unfavorable reviews or comments. Thus they are responsible. Or it may be that the review site is being operated out of someone's basement and has no money to pay any judgment. But Google has tons of cash. Who would you sue?
Put away your lawyer's phone number and think about your social media strategy.
