Top 9 Social Media Fails of 2009, so far

Thanks to the wonders of Twitter, I came across this article over on ZDnet where the author talks about the top social media fails of 2009.  I don’t necessarily agree with everything that she says, but I don’t disagree with everything either.

I should mention, that the use of the word “fail” like that comes from a very successful site called “failblog.org” where they highlight things that have failed.

Here’s an example of something over on failblog.org:

Back to my point, I think that overall the Zdnet article does a good job of going into the different campaigns and then giving an opinion about why the campaign was a failure. What I would like to know is where she got a lot of the information about the supposed backlash. I never saw, nor heard anything about the House episodes, nor did I even see or hear about the Denny’s banana.

I do remember the Motrin mom’s debacle, and quit frankly I couldn’t see why the mommy bloggers were in such a tiff about the whole thing.

The other commercials that I did see, I thought were stupid but I wasn’t offended by any of them. Maybe it’s just me and my thick skin, but I digress.  I thought the article would make for interesting reading. What do you think about the list?
