7. The opposite effect however was experienced by well known company Blackberry when they experienced issues which resulted in users of their phones being unable to connect to the internet for around 3 days. Blackberry had a problem, they didn’t communicate with their customers and so many took to social networking sites to voice their anger, frustration and also speak to other Blackberry users to try and find some information. This issue has been resolved but the damage which was caused through social networking and people “Tweeting” and “Commenting” on Twitter and Facebook was already done. Brick technology listened out for some of the tweets and here are some of our favourites even if they were damaging are: "If you have an iPhone turn it into a Blackberry by enabling the airplane mode" "When is a smart phone just a phone? When it is a Blackberry" "Blackberry has shown their respect for the loss of Steve Jobs by having three days of silence"
