United Airlines Unites Twitter Twitter was the vehicle of choice yesterday when news broke of a passenger getting dragged off a United Airlines plane. Fellow passengers tweeted footage of the incident as it unfolded, swiftly gaining the attention of news outlets in the process. Twitter then took off with the #UnitedJourneys hashtag – launched just days earlier by United Airlines – steering it in a different direction with irateresponses to the fiascoand amplifying the airline’s PR nightmare.

McDonalds’ has partnered up with Snapchat to launch ‘Snaplications’ where Australian teenagers can get to a chance to work in one the biggest fast-food chain outlets.
