Facebook, why can’t you use your powers for good?
Don’t get me wrong, this is not going to be another jab at facebook. Personally I love it. I’m addicted to it for all of the silly reasons people use it: leaving fun messages for your friends, posting stupid pictures, starting and maintaining friendships, inside jokes, etc. And I can honestly also say that it has helped me keep in touch with people that I’m not sure I would have been able to as easily if it weren’t for this bit of social media.
But, facebook obviously has its downsides as we know, and Paull brought my attention to yet another. Groups on facebook are not helping pr’s cause for keeping its image clean.
When you search groups on facebook with the terms “public relations” you will find all kinds of stuff. There’s the always classy, “I make out In Public to Protest Other People Making Out in Public” group, or the sotally tober “Ain’t No Party Like a Duplex Party” group, and the, well just plain weird “Aaron Carter FREAKS me out!!!” group. Take your pick!
