NYPD Twitter campaign 'backfires'

Just like the Tory party have done here in the UK, the NYPD ( New York Police Department) used the social networking site Twitter with the hashtag '#myNYPD' for users to share there positive experience with the police department but the social image booster quickly failed and was met with pictures that many didn't expect to be seen, many users sent in pictures of the NYPD police brutality and this comes just a few days after the American Airlines explicit picture tweeted back to a user, it could be argued that in the past few weeks Americans have not been having the best experience in regards to social networking sites.

http://news.sky.com/story/1246760/moyes-to-be-sacked-after-owners-lose-patience  - New and digital Media reports Moyes sacking before hand.

On Sunday the 20th of April Manchester United manager David Moyes returned to his old club Everton, expecting a warm welcome due the way he helped transform Everton but he was met with the complete opposite and Moyes was booed as he walked out of the Tunnel, not the best return to Merseyside but this was just the beginning, a few mins later pictures were posted online of a man dressed as a grim reaper standing behind David Moyes and the grim reaper near enough predicted Moyes' fate and after the 2-0 loss, many news sources began to report via Twitter that information has been leaked through the club and Moyes is due to be sacked, to which the club published a statement and denied speculation but the very next morning Moyes was sacked and the man who has  been laughed at for his failure of a season was met with ridiculing pictures and jokes on Twitter but it portrayed the power of new and digital media and the speed to tell everyone something a whole day before it happens
