Digital Blunders 2: How funny is that?!

The Digital Blunder is a phenomenon enabled by the ease of modern communication. When your email is always on and your mobile is always close at hand it's very easy to switch off your brain, when you'd really be better off switching off your computer or your phone.

We first ran a Digital Blunders feature two years ago, asking to hear your tech howlers and we were inundated with tales of woe. Wrongly addressed emails, users hitting reply when they meant forward - and adding derogatory comments about the accidental recipient, saucy text messages to an ex-girlfriend or wife, which were intended for the new girl in the senders life - you name it we saw it... and published it, with a little anonymity where requested.

Now we are asking you to send in your confessions again - because a lot can happen in two years.

In the first instance we want to be amused and we want to share the hilarity with our audience. But there is also a serious side to of this.

Consider the most famous Digital Blunder to date - the notorious Claire Swire and her saucy email to lover Bradley Chait back in 2000.

Claire expressed a fondness for performing a particular sex act on Bradley - who, being the gentleman that he was then forwarded to his friends - who similarly pre-disposed to a lack of discretion forwarded it to their friends, who forwarded it to their friends and so on... until most of the Western World knew about Claire. Estimates suggest the email reached around 10 million people.

And this was very funny - or at least it was to around 9,999,997 people. Not laughing however were the protagonists Swire and Chait and his employer, City law firm Norton Rose.

The story has entered into folklore and as a result brought unwanted fame to all involved and implicated. Norton Rose, a company which must trade on its reputation, is best known for employing people who send smutty emails. Would you want to be represented by them?

The company disciplined Chait and rode a wave of unwanted publicity for several months until it all died down, but there is no way to measure the damage done to reputations by such events.

We will be touching on some of these issues during our Digital Blunders 2 Special Report, but we'll not be letting that stand in the way of a good laugh as well, so email in your confessions now.
