Like it or not, bad customer service seems to be the norm these days, so if there's something -- anything -- a company can do to give customers another touch point, it's a good thing.

While some have had success with Comcast, others (Dave Winer) have not. And I just heard a story about someone who had problems with JetBlue. It appears that, in many cases, the social media account is just a bolt-on to a customer service system that may be mediocre at best. I will grant that Disqus has outstanding customer service (I like Louis Gray's story the best). However, we need to remember that Disqus is a very small company, much smaller than Comcast or JetBlue. Will they be able to provide such personalized service as they grow? I should also note that Biz Stone once left a comment on a blog post of mine that had to do with Twitter. My blog certainly isn't a leading blog, so Biz should be praised for reaching out. However, this again appeared to be a personal effort, not an institutionalized corporate strategy. If the pundits are right and Twitter is about to grow astronomically, will they be able to respond at all? I think the jury’s still out.
