Hotels Go On Offensive Against Negative Reviews

Hotels are taking a particularly aggressive stance against anonymous reviews found on such sites as Yelp or Trip Advisor by actively trying to connect the data dots to identify the author. Once the hotel has identifying information in hand it might thank the poster for the good review - perhaps with a gift basket.

More surprisingly, Toyota's efforts in this area - at least the social media component - appear to be falling flat. First a caveat though: The timing for this crisis is unfortunate for Toyota.
