Social Media Gone Bad - follow up

I won’t say much else about this, other than say that I like the idea of turning Bacak’s name into a verb for an example of what not to do.

Sample usage: You need to be careful not to bacak yourself when you launch a social media campaign.

Here are a few posts from around the blogosphere of people talking about the subject of my post from the other day. Paisano, over on Utterli told me about these posts.  They’re not talking about me in these posts, they’re just talking about Bacak and comparing his faux pas to how other people use social media effectively.

That’s all I’m going to say about this debacle.  I’m starting to get the sense that Bacak did this on purpose to get people to talk about him.  I’m done talking about him.
