Today I’d like to talk about a guy in Florida who had an argument with a car dealer, Route 60 Hyundai,  that turned into a nasty affair. This guy took his Hyundai in for a repair, got a loaner and got into an argument with the dealer about the condition of the loaner when it was returned.

Things escalated but suffice it to say the guy was not happy and used his Twitter feed to bad mouth the dealer every chance he got.

The dealership sued him and this guy got this amazing lawyer, Marc Randazza. Here is his blog.This lawyer wrote one of the best written, most readable briefs I have ever read. If you are interested in knowing about defamation lawsuits, and how online reputations are made (and broken), you should take the time to read it. I promise that it is not lawyer-speak and is in fact very interesting.

Now, what I’d love to do is follow up and find out what Hyundai did to improve its online reputation. I’d love it if Hyundai was watching the twitter-verse (twitter universe), had detected the complaints and moved to do something about it.
