Passive Agressive Move by Twitter, NBC Spurs Controversy
The last paragraph from the New York Times Bits of Business Technology blog post “Twitter Learns a Lesson”:
“Eric Wemple, blogging for The Washington Post, notes the whole controversy could have been avoided. (British newspaper reporter for The Independent Guy) Adams told him, “If NBC wasn’t so arrogant and had called me up on Friday afternoon and said, ‘Look, old boy, we consider this private information, and would you delete this tweet,” Mr. Adams likely would have complied.”
There’s a lesson we can all learn from this fiasco: communicate directly with your adversary, and whatever disagreement likely won’t blow up in your face.
