36. Reconstructing conversation thread
• Facebook status message: “$50 to change an MX
record. Just to change one line in DNS. What a rip
off. Shame on you X Brand”
• Sparks fly in network : “what a scam”…Backlash
spreads within the network
• References to competitors: “you should
immediately transfer to Y Brand or someone”
(some more references to competitor brands)
• Brand bashing continues. At least 5 actively vocal
people will probably not choose or recommend
this brand
– And each have 100+ people who view this communication
