PR Executive Feels Power Of Twitter
ResumeJustine Sacco, the head of corporate communications for Barry Diller's InterActive Corporation, lost her job after tweeting "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!"
She sent her tweet Friday before she boarded a flight from New York to Cape Town, South Africa, unaware that during her 11-hour flight her tweet went viral.
When she got off the plane she was greeted by reporters and photographers demanding answers.
