[ girl ] my mom, she makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon. she can print amazing things, right from her computer. [ whirring ] [ train whistle blows ] she makes trains that are friends with trees. my mom works at ge. my mom works at ge. myso i asked her how i isaved fifteen percent on car insurance in just fifteen minutes. (laughter) idk? what does that mean? i don t know. and i m the one who s out of touch. lol. fifteen minutes for a quote is out of touch. with esurance, seven and a half minutes could save you on car insurance. welcome to the modern world. esurance. backed by allstate. click or call.
amusing? i don t think so. the problem with social media and tweeting is that there s no editing, right? nobody a company editor isn t standing over your shoulder, wait, let me double check that. it has to go so quickly, and you want to stay in that conversation that big mistakes like this are made. airlines are increasingly use twitter to deal with customers who get flights delayed or cancelled or rebooked. this is flipping the bird at an angry customer. i think the employee should be fired. kenneth cole made mistakes like this, war in syria and kenneth cole the company tweeted boots on the ground, what about heels and loafers, that was dump. happens all the time as you re trying to stay current. what about some of the bomb threats? very troubling. have you a 14-year-old girl who claims to be from al qaeda saying that she that there is a bomb on board, and the airline tweets right back saying we take these threats very seriously. we re going to the fbi, and we are gett
and all of a sudden there s this she just has a meltdown and says wait, wait, i m just a 14-year-old girl from, you know, some place else. not from afghanistan. and i didn t do it and please don t hurt me but they did arrest her. american airlines did the right thing. as stupid as that was, a little troubled about arresting a 14-year-old girl but what really got me was the explosion of copycat tweets. right. some of the copycat tweets were a bomb goes o-f in three hours, not exactly a grammar genius and ahmed said there s a bomb on the paris flight. why the airlines have to take this seriously. love to continue this discussion online because people are split about whether or not you should arrest a 14-year-old for just playing around but about bombs and planes you don t just play around. 14-year-olds need to wise up, one area you don t feel around. still to come, your best tweet
