Social media can be an efficient tool to boost your business and can play an opposite role as well. this requires all personnel to publish any comment about their company considering the company privacy rules.

Worst could be negative publicity by a competitor, so, one has to be careful and stretch out to reach out to each feedback giver, especially if any negative response and analyse for corrections or expose the motivated feedback.

Another lacuna is that online platform has to be maintained well with resposes and management of updated space so that only what is desirable gets highlighted and what public asks is well responded.

In the past if you sold a faulty/low quality product to a customer, the worst that would happen is a confrontation with an angry customer that would tell his/her circle about you. With Social Media both the posititves and negatives are out there for the world to see, things become pretty much transparent about your company's reputation and image - that in turn is the deciding factor for many if they are going to conduct any sort of business with you.
