BoA Shows How Not to Defend a Reputation Against a WikiLeak
WikiLeak has been promising to release information that will be very damaging to a large financial institution. The site has been coy about the name, but it is widely believed that Bank of America is the institution in question. The bank has said it doesn’t know what the leak could be – but apparently it is readying for some kind of bombshell by registering domain names that could possibly be used to criticize or make fun of it.
In recent days it has taken "hundreds" of d [...]

Overestimating the Wisdom of the Crowd
The Gap's attempt to launch a new logo was a failure – at least judging from the comments about it online.

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. In the case of a negative review, it might send an email asking for either a reconsideration or a chance to readdress what was wrong with the person’s stay, [...]
