I am still surprised that a company like geeklist runs into such a trap[1]. Shouldn't they be knowing better? I mean, social networks are what they build, they should know the effect.
The whole internet was abuzz for a week about implied sexism and bad handling of women. But yet, they run into just the same hole. It doesn't even require to discuss the validity of the argument to see the problems in their handling: someone with high twitter reach complained about a questionable thing that they could easily drag in the trash bin (with a few phone calls). Was it even worth to pick that fight?
[1] Just to be clear: its a trap layed by themselves.
