That is the most fundamental point that everyone needs to take onboard when daring to venture their commercial brands into these cyber social spaces

There are pranksters, funsters, trolls &amp; haters out there who will delight in ripping the living PISS out of any N008 who makes a mess of  placing their brands into this space, they'll do it ruthlessly and relentlessly, just for the LULZ

If handled badly the backlash will not be on the anonymous nerds who trolled you into screaming angry threats of legal oblitteration, the egg will be solely on you &amp; your brands faces

If handled well however you can ride along with the funsters and enjoy the MEMETIC POWER of their viral  leg-pulling

Take talented 80's crooner Rick Astley as a case in point, what would have happened if the RickRolling phenomenon had resulted in legal threats from  PWL &amp; SonyBMG over copyright "violations" ? what if Rick had not seen the positive side of this ridicule and threatened to sue anyone and everyone that ridiculed him.....

Bottom line is this, EXPECT LULZ expect drama but don't lose your rag, dont make spurious legal threats and KNOW HOW TO CAPITALISE ON IT&lt;img src="http://community.brandrepublic.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=18010" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Media 360 off and running</title><link>http://community.brandrepublic.com/blogs/the_media_360_blog/archive/2008/05/14/media-360-off-and-running.aspx#18017</link><pubDate>Thu, 15 May 2008 14:41:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0f8ed6bf-041d-4f2c-bb76-9560b958a575:18017</guid><dc:creator>Mark Palmer</dc:creator><description>Thank Mark Palmer i s a great guy&lt;img src="http://community.brandrepublic.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=18017" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
