Coming to us from Frugal Dad, the infographic “Giants Kneel to a Tweet: When Social Consumers Go Viral” explores how companies respond when their customers take to Twitter, Facebook and other social media to voice their opinions.
Take the story of the Bank of America’s monthly $5 debit fee. Introduced in September, the fee received widespread criticism on social media.

GoDaddy was publicly denounced on Twitter (by the founder of Cheezburger and Jimmy Wales) for their support of SOPA and subsequently backtracked. Netflix was shamed by Twitter when it announced – and shortly nixed – the Qwikster brand.
