Especially since brands and marketers are still experimenting with the concept.<br /><br />I've reprinted an article and analysis from <a href="http://www.bernhardwarner.com">Bernhard Warner</a> with a slide share presentation from <a href="http://socialmediainfluence.com/">Social Media Influence</a>'s editorial and social media training partner, <a href="http://customcommunication.co.uk/">Custom Communication</a>, who has gone back through six years of social media and compiled a visual narrative of company misadventures with bloggers, tweeters and other social media voices. [Still images added by me].<br /><br />Since 2004 they’ve identified 37 notable instances where companies have been caught short by social media protests and complaints or where they’ve shot themselves in the foot with dumb marketing.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A snapshot of the history:</span><br />Given the explosion in social media participation it’s not surprising to see a steady year-on-year increase in social media screw ups but while 2006 saw 7 major incidents the 10 recorded so far this year suggests that corporate communicators and marketers are becoming more savvy in how they engage and look after their online reputation.<br /><br />The numbers are trending nicely for social media. As the <a href="http://www.iabuk.net/en/1/ukonlineadspendrises10percent051010.mxs">IAB UK points out</a> this week, the surprising surge in online advertising through the first half of 2010 can be attributed in part to more money pouring into social media marketing. There’s another social media figure on the rise, and it’s not quite so inspiring.<br /><br />According to the new piece of research by Custom Communication, “Social Media Screw Ups – A Short History,” along with the surge in social media investment comes a surge in social media screw-ups by major corporations using these channels to reach the public. 2010 is on pace to see more reputation-bruising social media gaffes than in any previous year. Haven’t they learned anything from the Kryptonite lock fiasco of 2004? Apparently not.<br /><br /><div style="width: 530px;" id="__ss_5361415"><strong style="display: block; margin: 12px 0pt 4px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/socialmediainfluence/social-media-screw-ups" title="Social media Screw Ups - A History">Social media Screw Ups - A History</a></strong><object height="420" id="__sse5361415" width="530"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=socialmediascrewups-101005070711-phpapp01&stripped_title=social-media-screw-ups&userName=socialmediainfluence"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed name="__sse5361415" src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=socialmediascrewups-101005070711-phpapp01&stripped_title=social-media-screw-ups&userName=socialmediainfluence" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="420" width="530"></embed></object></div><br />In reviewing the findings, it’s become clear: many of the mistakes are being repeated time and again.

It pioneered the online business model of crowd-sourced or community-driven design, in which people submit designs that are voted on by the site’s 1 million users and printed. Over the past 10 years, the company has amassed a vast archive of very cool, very hip, and often very entertaining designs, and Threadless is a spectacular showcase of 400 of the very best T-shirts created by the community—a barometer of art and design over the past decade.<br /><br />Much more than a book of extraordinary graphics, Threadless tells the extremely interesting story that inspired Inc. magazine to hail Threadless.com as “the most innovative small company in America.” There are also profiles of individual designers and “think pieces” from influential admirers, including design guru John Maeda, Jeff Howe of Wired, and bestselling business/marketing writer Seth Godin.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Author</span> Jake Nickell<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWLorye3ICBBy0iNpVrxPG190XzsSoXMcB_CaY89yY072MGHFYDNhayITVLtRAdIvXfLrPWx0GFB1ADB9n_AufbxCXuQG6XdEv0YmlRsMRnF0rb0uKpqFGQURuwJ8AvTTf0iQIAmrpw1XB/s1600/jake+nickell+.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521068671638815938" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWLorye3ICBBy0iNpVrxPG190XzsSoXMcB_CaY89yY072MGHFYDNhayITVLtRAdIvXfLrPWx0GFB1ADB9n_AufbxCXuQG6XdEv0YmlRsMRnF0rb0uKpqFGQURuwJ8AvTTf0iQIAmrpw1XB/s400/jake+nickell+.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 531px; height: 353px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Jake Nickell, above, is co-founder of </span><a href="http://www.threadless.com/" style="font-style: italic;">Threadless.com</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> and lives in Boulder, Colorado.</span></span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(photo courtesy of <a href="http://motherboard.tv/">motherboard.tv</a>)</span></span><br /><br />Buy <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0810996103?ie=UTF8&tag=iishish-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0810996103">Threadless: Ten Years of T-shirts from the World's Most Inspiring Online Design Community</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=iishish-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0810996103" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Threadless Book Launch Party Today In Brooklyn!</span></span></p>Threadless and Abrams are launching the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0810996103?ie=UTF8&tag=iishish-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0810996103">Threadless Book</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=iishish-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0810996103" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> at the epic <a href="http://www.powerhousearena.com/">Powerhouse Arena</a> in Brooklyn today.

Their new DESIGN FOR YOU contest, which began September 8 and continues through November 2nd, is a smart marketing ploy for Herman Miller to add people to their database. By entering, you are signing up for the Herman Miller Lifework (Retail) e-mail subscription. The more people who enter, the better the prizes.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How exactly does it work?</span><br />As more people submit their e-mail adresses, more prizes are unlocked. Each prize is better than the last.<br /><br /><object height="323" width="530"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NQC3woNBqX0?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NQC3woNBqX0?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="323" width="530"></embed></object><br /><br />For the grand prize, you could win one of five artist painted Eames Rockers by Andrew Holder, Philip Lumbang, Christopher Lee, Mark Giglio, and Josh Cochran.
