The PDF version of slides from Shel Holtz‘s “Blogs Gone Wild” presentation from today’s Social Media Revolution conference is now available. The session provided a good overview of how quickly a damaging story can spread via social media, and how easily someone with a beef can cause havoc for a corporate (or university) PR staff.

Two students injured in Delaware State University shooting
Post updated at 7 a.m. CDT.
Breaking news this morning from AP: Two students were shot early this morning at Delaware State University and police are still searching for a gunman. Classes are canceled for the day. Meanwhile, the campus’ website makes no little mention of the incident as this screen capture shows. (Screen cap taken at 7:30 a.m. EDT, and the incident occurred around 1 a.m. EDT).
I hope Delaware State can switch that website soon.
On second viewing, I see that the website does mention the incident in the lower right-hand corner.
I was expecting a more prominent placement on the site.
