  1. I think that one particular woman is the exception to the rule. I would prefer that companies use these types of things for customer service. And people need to remember that when they get on Twitter and Facebook they are giving up at least some measure of privacy. They are opting in. If they don't want a company reading their tweets, they need to set their privacy settings accordingly. Plain and simple!
