Bio: The Fifth Estate extends from the blogosphere to the community and the ways participants hold the powers accountable. The Fourth Estate, the media, held some of that responsibility, but communications is now more in the hands of the people. So how can the Fifth Estate use the best of Fourth Estate with new challenges faced by community and social media? Compelling stories will showcase technological innovations and where there are concerns about best practices needs. Stories reach from the regular user to business to government, policy and law.

A few blog posts back, I recommended that Apple maintain a forum for owners of the iPhone 4 to air their gripes. Now Wired reports that there were a few Apple threads, but that Apple has removed all but two. Here’s one to click. The ad for the iPhone 4 is still on the Web site’s main page.

iPhone 4 ad

Customer dissatisfaction with the removed threads which discussed the recent Consumer Reports advisory against the iPhone 4, posted their complaints on the Unofficial Apple Website

Not sure why, but there seems to be two problems these days: not enough proper direction for Apple managers and some bad customer relations advice floating around Apple.
