Have you seen this video yet?
In a word it’s disgusting. Two Dominoes employees decided to videotape themselves talking about, and tampering with the food that they were making. One employee sticks a piece of cheese up his nose before sticking it on a sandwich and also passes gas onto a piece of salami before placing it on the sandwich. The employee videotaping was acting so happy at what was going on right before her eyes.
But, this incident proves that you need social media now more than ever. Can you imagine someone tarnishing your brand just because they have a video camera and a YouTube account?
In response Dominoes launched a twitter feed to respond to the mess, but incredibly enough they didn’t already have one. Had they of, they may have been able to tackle this head on instead of having to wait, and you shouldn’t wait either. You should control the branding of your company, product, or service. No one else.

From CNBC
Kogi, a duo of Korean BBQ-inspired taco trucks in Los Angeles, has “Tweeted” its way to international stardom and is inspiring restaurateurs seeking new ways to tempt diners during a deep recession.
Twitter, a free social networking site, is a vital ingredient in Kogi’s success. As Kogi’s example shows, the service that started as a way for people to follow the 140-character “tweets” of friends and celebrities is quickly becoming a powerful new way for businesses to talk directly with customers.
Because Kogi’s trucks visit locations all around Los Angeles, brand director Mike Prasad wanted to create a single place where fans could gather.
“We had to create a home for them. Twitter was a natural fit,” said Prasad.
The plan worked. Since launching in November, Kogi has attracted more than 15,000 followers on Twitter(http://twitter.com/kogibbq).
