Possible dangers of tweeting with the wrong account

I came across a hilarious article, that can be found here, in the PR daily website. Chrysler, as many other organizations do nowadays, hired a social media agency to take control over their social media sites. New Media Strategies, a known global leader in the social media industry, was ‘dumped’ by Chrysler today as one of its employees (who manages several Twitter accounts) tweeted the following with Chrysler’s account:
“I find it ironic that Detroit is known as the #motorcity and yet no one here knows how to f**king drive.”
Chrysler had to take action and is currently managing their own social media profiles, at least until they find a new company or intern to take over the project. Following the tweet, Chrysler went online and blogged about what they believed Detroit was like, and what they thought about their hard-working citizens.
With the employees at NMS managing several Twitter and Facebook accounts one can’t help but wonder if they should really be managing their personal accounts at work as well. Next time you log in make sure it’s the right account- we wouldn’t want more people losing their jobs like the NMS employee did.
