[glow=red,2,300] Ad Campaign Uses Powerful Photographs to
Explain that Facebook Likes Don’t Help[/glow]
HTML http://cdn.petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2013/06/likehelp2.jpg
[quote]When they were tasked with putting together a powerful
advertising campaign for Crisis Relief Singapore, ad agency
Publicis Singapore mixed heart-wrenching photos with a
hard-to-swallow tagline to create something quite moving.
The campaign is based around the tag line: “Liking Isn’t
Helping,” and it uses press photos of flood, earthquake and war
victims surrounded by hands coming from outside the frame giving
them a “thumbs up,” symbolizing the Facebook “like.”[/quote]

[quote]The thumbs ups have been Photoshopped in, but the message
is clear. Since the C.R.S. is run by volunteers, they want
people to understand that clicking like or share on Facebook,
while it might help spread the word, doesn’t actually make a
difference to a crisis victim.[/quote]

[quote]To drive the point home even further, the ad copy at the
bottom right reads “Be a Volunteer. Change a Life.” To learn
more about C.R.S. and how you can help their cause, head over to

If that isn't a scathing indictment to all those on Facebook,
then I don't know what is. FYI, I agree 100% with this Ad
Campaign.

Another casualty of Social Network. Seriously, there is such a
huge gap with generations on what is considered acceptable of
socializing. Don't feel bad for this woman at all.

7 years since the creation of Twitter? I think I have a total of
7 tweets in the same time frame. And I was probably drunk when I
did the tweeting. ;D

This is not simple as it sounds and it immediately takes a
tangent direction with regards to tipping, ignoring the whole
tweet war altogether. And in the whole context of the article,
yes the tweet war is stupid (take note of you folks who tweet),
and the tipping issue becomes central. I still have faith in
people. Read the comments section too.

Food Truck Justice: Heated Tweet to Financial Firm Gets Worker
Fired[/glow]
New Yorker Brendan O’Connor lost his job last week.
Normally, this would not make for a particularly newsworthy
story, but O’Connor’s tale is different, in part because it all
started with a tweet of his, shown below.
[quote] Brendan O'Connor @OConnorB_
Shout out to the good people of Glass, Lewis & Co. for placing a
$170 order and not leaving a tip. @glasslewis[/quote]
Thing is, the @GlassLewis in question above is the San
Francisco-based shareholder advisory firm of Glass Lewis & Co.,
which didn’t take too kindly to the public tip-shaming. The
company called O’Connor’s boss at Milk Truck, a food truck
business specializing in grilled cheese sandwiches, to complain
about the accusatory tweet. Two days later, O’Connor’s brief
career in food service was over. Milk Truck publicly apologized
and the episode was put to rest.
[quote] Milk Truck @milktrucknyc
@glasslewis rgrding yest. tweet by an employee--it was flat out
wrong. we do NOT in any way support or condone this behavior-our
apologies.
Glass Lewis & Co. @GlassLewis
@milktrucknyc We appreciate it, and look forward to doing
business with you again![/quote]
Except that it wasn’t.
Turns out, O’Connor moonlights as a reporter for the New York
City culture blog The Awl, and he wrote a lengthy article on the
firing, including lurid details about Glass Lewis’s tip-snubbing
employees, that ran it on Tuesday. It read, in part:
"This group placed a huge order: three of this sandwich,
four of another, three of the one that takes forever on the
grill, two of the one that takes forever to assemble. Five or
six milkshakes. The order came to just under $170.
"I was making sandwiches, another worker took the order and
a third made the milkshakes and watched the grills. A line grew
while we worked, and we had to tell other customers that their
lunch orders would take longer than usual. They paid; I asked my
co-worker who was dealing with the money how much of a tip
they’d left. They had left actually no tip at all. (They had
paid with a card so we checked the cash tips to see if there’d
been a bump. There hadn’t.)
"I asked some of the group as they were picking up their
orders if they had intended to not tip. They hemmed and hawed
and walked away."
The reaction was swift and impassioned. Readers swarmed social
media to berate Milk Truck and Glass Lewis over the incident
with expletive-riddled rants, in an effort that at times seemed
to suggest Americans had found a new reason to distrust the
financial services industry. O'Connor quickly became a folk hero
among service workers.

[center]Tipping Is For The Birds

This is just one of the reasons why I don't eat in restaurants.
I take the whole tipping thing out of the equation and won't
have to worry about being tip-shamed. Whenever tipping is
mentioned in conversation, I can't help but name drop Reservoir
Dogs.
