		<description>A few more developments on this story today.

First thanks to @jackbremer who noticed it looks like they&#039;re no longer simply posting the Twitter feed of #newpizza - http://bit.ly/5i3vty compared to http://bit.ly/4xpWHU

Second is that this clearly got Domino&#039;s attention as they are now following me on Twitter and got the follow message from them &quot;Read your article, I&#039;m sorry you feel that way, but we are maintaining constant communication with customers on both Twitter &amp; FB.&quot;

I responded with my feeling that &quot;No need to apologize. Just think keeping those talks private is a mistake as your product gets trashed &amp; you lose potential sales.&quot;

They did point out they they are publicly responding to some people on their Facebook page but not Twitter.  I went to look into this and on their Fan Page I saw where on the entire page they had responded to one person who posted &quot;what site can i go to and order the old pizza?&quot; and their response was &quot;What about the old pizza are you wanting to order?&quot;.

Like I said in response to them, my feelings remain the same that they are really missing an opportunity here because I can&#039;t find any meaningful conversations with their customers and it&#039;s coming at the cost of their brand, product and potential sales. 

Curious for your thoughts so if you have any feel free to weigh in.</description>
