We occasionally (and happily) hear exponents of social media remind us that marketing cannot actually make up for poor products and services - (for any length of time of course), customers eventually and inevitably wake up to shonkey products. In the past, the lag between marketing claim and customers voting in mass with their wallet was often long enough for snake oil salesmen to make a good living - as long as they kept moving, negative communication was inefficient and they kept finding new customers.
They don't make markets like that anymore.
