Twitter Follower Suit Settled; Highlights Need For Clear Account Ownership Guidelines

Last November we told you about a tech news site suing a former employee for $340,000 to compensate them for the 17,000 followers he took with him after leaving his post.

Well, it appears the the tech company did NOT prevail, so businesses really need to create social media guidelines detailing who owns what – and they need to do this now.

And the fact that this made it to court should be enough for anyone tweeting for work to sit up and take note.
