Marketer Blogs Tale from Distressed Jet

Jeremy Hermanns, who works at Tribal DDB in Los Angeles and co-created Blogebrity, was on Alaska Flight #536, which ran into trouble and had to make an emergency landing. He blogged it and the photos were used by the pros. Now it seems he's getting snippy comments from folks who allegedly have Alaska Airlines IP addresses. (Via Jeff Jarvis)

I'm not sure the video in the report was shot by Jeremy, it's credited to someone else in the news story. Jeremy did take photos and post them in a very descriptive entry in his blog. I could find no video at his place, though. Maybe I didn't look hard enough.

Nice update to the post to include the comments from Alaska Airlines employees.

Why did you not reference the update, or the correction in the post itself? Doesn't this fall under the transparency issue we've debated often?

Steve,

I know you never encouraged clients to get "snippy," but you do call for clients to pull their head out of the sand and participate in the bloatospheric conversations about their brand. Looks like more and more clients are heeding your advice.
