Complaints after Vodafone is an eager beaver on Twitter

What the devil has got into Vodafone this afternoon? They’re one of the many companies using Twitter to provide personable customer service on the web, yet all they’ve done for the past hour is apologise profusely to individuals:

What’s all the hubbub about? It seems somebody might have updated the corporate Twitter account instead of their personal account. Or maybe they thought a little light humour was in order for a Friday afternoon:

    Surely this isn’t being taken seriously internally? Any media coverage is good coverage in the end – agree with Christopher give them a raise with the telling off and teach them how to Tweet properly in future. Epic

    Gadgetfreak I would venture to suggest that both “dirty homos” and “beaver” should always be “taken seriously internally”

    The dude who wrote it got fired that day, walked out of the office by security. Sure he wrote a homophobic comment, but beaver is a funny word…
