"We recently shed light on an innovative social media campaign run by Royal Dutch Airline KLM, called KLM Surprise. The campaign involves surprising KLM passengers with personalized gifts based on their social networking profiles.\r\n\r\nSadly, the airline is not quite as social media savvy as we might have first thought. Thanks to a tip from Malcolm Coles, it was brought to our attention today that the KLM Surprise website had been set up to automatically pull in every tweet using the hashtag #KLMsurprise. Unfortunately, they did not take the initiative to monitor these tweets, which resulted in abuse of the tag as tweeters realized KLM weren't watching the feed.\r\n\r\nAs Malcolm pointed out, this is far from the first time this has happened. Previous campaigns such as the political hashtag #cashgordon and a live search on the Skittles website have proved the danger of not monitoring what users are saying about your brand.\r\n\r\nThe Twitter feed has been removed from the KLM website for now, and we are waiting for a comment from the KLM Surprise team."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
