Social media outlets have given them big megaphones to voice their frustrations to an increasingly connected population, and these frustrations have a long shelf life on the Internet. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and others are rife with customer service stories – most of them negative – and this is having real game-changing consequences for customer service.
