Do you have burning questions to ask Toyota US President live on the Internet?

I’ve just checked my email.  12 hours ago, Digg emailed me a notification that they are giving us (the social media users) an opportunity to ask Toyota questions since the recent controversy surrounding the Toyota vehicle recall, one of the largest in history.

The Toyota US President and Chief Operating Officer, Jim Lentz, will be in the hot seat for their latest LIVE Digg Dialogg, where he will tackle our questions head-on.  He’ll be sitting down with us to provide perspective on what happened, what Toyota is doing about it, and what consumers need to know.

This is YOUR opportunity (mine as well..) to make your voice heard – you can submit & Digg questions from now through Monday. The ones with the most votes will be asked in the Digg Dialogg LIVE at 2pm PT/ 5pm ET on Monday, February 8th.

Some thoughts from Charles

In terms of crisis management, I think Digg is a good forum in the social media to have your clarification explained to the citizen journalists.  Citizen journalists are actually referring to any social media users who have access to any form of social media such as Facebook, twitter, blogs, Posterous, Friendfeed, delicious, flickr, digg and so on.  That’s where they can update their status and be heard to the outside world!

In my opinion, you can consider using Digg to give your corporate announcements.  And I think this is a good model for the rest of the social media websites to have so that it will attract more brands to find an edge to be involved professionally with the social media in a personal way.
