Sub­ti­tle: Or, Using Like to Tar­get Tar­get If you’re watch­ing the Tar­get Face­book page right now, you’re see­ing another social media dis­as­ter on par with Nestle’s débâ­cle back in March. It’s like watch­ing a train wreck in slow motion, but it’s another great case study for us about what not to do online.

Hint: don’t set your page to show only your posts first and then aban­don it when con­tro­versy arises. If you’re not famil­iar with the cur­rent con­tro­versy, you can go here to read about Target’s dona­tion to a homo­pho­bic guber­na­to­r­ial can­di­date in Min­nesota. Be sure to click on “just oth­ers” on Target’s wall to see the angry, for­mer cus­tomers and porno­graphic spam. I’m sure they’ve spent the last few days bring­ing in con­sul­tants to come up with a strat­egy for how to deal with this, but it’s sur­pris­ing that some­one hasn’t already said, “We need to at least post *some­thing* on our Face­book page and acknowl­edge what’s hap­pen­ing.” Slate Magazine.
