Where is the SNCF ?

• A fake logo of SNCF is published on the blog.

• SNCF asks to Typepad to censor the blog. SNCF and Typepad doesn’t contact the author of the blog

• Unfortunately...

The affair !

• Tens of blog and website publish the logo and comment the censorship.

• The Communication Director of SNCF answers to the post on lemondedublog.com

• Typepad agrees it was a mistake and allows to publish again the note.

The reaction

• September 2007, The «Conseil régional de Haute-Normandie» (local political power) suspends a 30 million of euros subvention to SNCF.

• October 2007, SNCF president comes to sign a document about the improvement of the quality.

• Blog has been hijacked, tens of notes and comments are deleted.

• SNCF doesn’t respect the convention.

• Blog community is again fighting to improve the quality : Normandy call, interviews on national radio (France Info), press, politicians.
