Comments on: Will Labour’s shadow cabinet web chat go viral? http://stuartbruce.biz/2009/01/will-labours-shadow-cabinet-web-chat-go-viral.html Public relations, corporate communications and social media Wed, 23 May 2012 15:56:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: robskinner http://stuartbruce.biz/2009/01/will-labours-shadow-cabinet-web-chat-go-viral.html/comment-page-1#comment-647 robskinner Wed, 21 Jan 2009 13:02:27 +0000 http://www.stuartbruce.eu/?p=249#comment-647 <p>Just spotted this. It's amusing and believable - we've all had similar 'we need to do something' conversations at work! But Labour needs to remember that using viral marketing and social media in itself is not enough. Back in the real world, people are losing their jobs, companies are going bust and the Government's cunning plans to get banks lending again are having little impact. This piece of playground politics is unlikely to impress voters who don't know if they will have a job next month. <br /> </p> Just spotted this.
