It’s cool to have a live stream at your big event. But what happens if something inappropriate gets posted during the event?
That’s exactly what happened during this year’s NYC’s Fashion Week. Designer, Rebecca Minkoff decided to incorporated a large screen to showcase tweets while her fashion show was taking place. When a Buzzfeed staff member tweeted that the show had a live feed, twitter trolls took the opportunity to post obscene photos and sayings on twitter using the hashtag, #RMFall for everyone at the event to see.
Think twice before using a live stream. It may be the best thing you did to enhance the event, but it could be a disaster like the Rebecca Minkoff show.
