Coming up with little ways to engage your audience — a poll question, a contest, a blog post — can be much trickier than it looks. In an attempt to fill that content hole, Best Buy’s Web site recently asked how users would feel about a Spanish version of the site. Instead of getting the usual trickle of tepid responses, however, the site was flooded with some surprisingly ugly negative comments. That might seem like a bad thing, but Maggie McGary argues that a little bad attention isn’t always the worst thing that can happen to a company.
