Legal case questions ownership of Twitter followers
A mobile phone news site is suing an ex-employee, claiming he stole the organisation’s Twitter followers after leaving the company and refusing to hand over an account.
Noah Kravitz worked as a reviewer for the site, Phonedog, for over four years. He created the account in 2007 when he started with the firm, choosing the handle @Phonedog_Noah to tweet to the 17,000 followers he gained since.
Kravitz left Phonedog in October 2010 and changed his Twitter handle to @noahkravitz but last summer, the organisation demanded the account back and set upon suing Kravitz for their projected worth of the account, $340,000 or $2.50 per follower per month.
