One passenger on the plane took pictures with their treo, and blogged about the event. His blog received a lot of comments, come of them negative. The blogger looked up the IP address of the negative comment posters and discovered the IP address was from Alaska airlines. (Though this has not been verified independently). The posts were not sanctioned by Alaska Airlines, but having a policy but more importantly the training in place to teach your employees what they can and can not say on public website, and from which computer is very important in the new world of social media.
