Lisa & Tommy talk about the new integration of Skype chat within Facebook. Lisa’s not so big on the instant messaging capabilities in Facebook and doesn’t think she will use the video chat capabilities. Tommy is also leery of the new capabilities.

Tom and Sara discuss recent stories of PR agencies getting fired after negative tweets went out. A member of the Chrysler team inadvertently posted a highly controversial tweet from the corporate account instead of his private account. The Redner Group intentionally posted a negative tweet on behalf of their client 2K, causing the agency to be let go from the gaming corporation. Lesson learned: quadruple-check your tweets, especially if your job depends on it!
