Hi Ryan,

I completely agree with the importance of admitting you made a mistake! I remember hearing on the street one day a grandmother telling her grandson that if he admits it is his fault he will be halfway forgiven, and his punishment will be reduced to half! The same thing with costumers, even if you don't have a clear punishment, you will see that after you own up to your guilt their displeasure will be visibly reduced, and they will respect you more!

Probably the best way to handle such flubs is not to make too much of them. On the other hand, it's important to take responsibility, especially if the problem IS a big one. Measure your response and be sure it is appropriate to the situation. Reading the response of customers and audience is no different in social media than face to face. It's a question of understanding the nuances of the medium.
