social media options
You have the option to post pictures and say whatever it is online to connect and talk to friends and family but there is a dounside like people threatning people online or cyber bullying and it can also be helpful for jobs etc. So you just have to be careful online.

social media post
I think that socila media sites have been glamorized for online especially for teenagers who really don't know any better to post/chat online. They say deragatory words and put explilited related imagery online for the whole world to see. So in a way there are some higs and lowas to this social media frenzy.

Linkedin account etc.
I think that a linkedin acoount is a great tool in a way for jobs and facebook sometimes also.Because the employer can see what type of work you've done and just being professional etc. As for children/teenagers I think they should be on the social media period when they get a certain age or don't get on there at all.

coin have two sides
this days social media is coin of two sides it could make or brake to Co., including affecting employees life/termination here is good example - http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2015/05/12/fhritp-could-be-a-crime-say-toronto-police.html

http://www.cbc.ca/news/trending/hydro-one-employee-fired-after-fhritp-heckling-of-citynews-reporter-shauna-hunt-1.3070948

 

but by itself Ontario's largest electricity provider, Hydro One, is already have bad rap online from customers - here it horror stories - http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/02/14/hydro-one-horror-stories...

I think we are living in the new reality of social media, where social media have control over our life... as long as we do something or post something and it online/on the web 

we have no rights or control over it anymore...

Positively or...?
Some service providers stand out on social media... but not always in a good way... 

I like T-Mo's CEO going on twitter rants and accusing the EFF of being funded by some nefarious sponsors... but that's not exactly the kind of social media engagement most companies are aiming for.

Perhaps any publicity is good publicity when you're in a distant 3rd place behind incumbents?

Comcast
I'm sure we all have horror stories when it comes to customer service and cable providers, but Comcast seems to be hit the hardest.  Not too long ago, Colin Jost of SNL engaged in a public 'twitter fued' with the company...and it truly showcased how inept Comcast is in the customer service dept. As you referenced, Mike, maybe Comcast needs to hire someone more experienced in dealing with social media to run their customer service dept, because who/what they have now is an embarassment.  No one can even mention Comcast without heads shaking...

Re: facebook post (Brief Thoughts)
Let me first make one humble suggestion:  The Social Media Giants amongst us are also service providers--look at what Facebook is doing for instance in India and what Google is doing with Fiber--as exemplified by how they are rolling out high-speed internet to the Housing Projects.    I also note this that just crossed my desk:

 

Zuckerberg wants 5 billion Facebook users by 2030

Facebook wants to get 5 billion people, roughly 70% of the planet, hooked up to its network by 2030, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Achieving that will require new strategies, including drone-based internet services for remote areas.

USA Today (2/4) 

 One particular one that comes to my mind was what Facebook did in the aftermath of the Paris Attacks.   I was tracking the status of a number of my friends in Europe and saw them as safe.    It underscores yet crucial fact that The engagement with Social Media is here to stay--and I have been on the prowl at my local Community to assess how best to be engaged in Social Media so that folks can notify the city with issues and yes be ready to be notified in the event of an emergency.
