“Primal scream” Twitter.
Twitter: A great place for top-of-mind comment and opinion and whinging about bad
service generally (not detailed enough for specific complaints). Lots of questions and a
fair number of compliments. BUT very transitory.

Friendly Facebook:
The place where loyal customers gather?
A much friendlier place than Twitter because a lot of Facebook activities
are from people who literally ‘like’ the brand. A big place for
compliments, questions and comments but can be used to complain
about service. Customers themselves may step up to defend the brand
against negativity.

Friendly Facebook?
Not so friendly Facebook
I value my privacy and tend to prevent my profile from being
especially visible on Facebook, so I wouldn’t use it to contact
anyone outside my network.”

Community collaboration: Forums.
Forums tend to be a little more niche than Twitter or Facebook. A big
place for compliments and comments but they also give customers the
space to deliver EXTREMELY LONG rants. Content stays there for years.
Often anonymous – often staff commenting.
