The 'nice pic, Phwoar!' moment
It’s been a year full of cringe worthy embarrassment for big companies trying to look good on social media.
This week, BBCtrending radio re-tells the stories of how McDonalds, Ryanair and others engaged with the public - and sometimes fell flat. Anne-Marie Tomchak meets the head of communications for Ryanair, whose CEO tweeted 'nice pic, Phwoar' during a real social media engagement session.

Featuring Esra Dogramaci, BBC digital media consultant, in the studio.
