It’s the New Year, and while you’re building your strategy for this year, why not also make a tiny list of Social Media Fails to avoid. It’s so easy to be out and about with your pals and snap a few shots of your bestie with her skirt tucked in her undies, BUT what if that bestie is the CEO of a major company, and that immortalization of one of her not so finest moments, could make it onto Page Six?
