twitter is buzzing as well as the internet after a video showing GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons shooting elephants.

This could be classified as one of the most recent stories where a CEO has stepped into the spotlight for doing something controversial. It appears that the fallout could be very damaging as many users/customers are claiming they will not renew and will move to another company to register domains.

This is social media effecting change. We are waiting for a response from Bob Parsons, perhaps there is another side to the story. Why would Bob even engage in this sort of activity is puzzling.

For those looking to transfer away from GoDaddy, there are options. One that is jumping on this story and making a donation to save the elephants.
