Building a Twitter following under an employer’s umbrella has become a common business practice. But what happens to that Twitter account when an employee leaves the company – do they get to take their followers with them, or does the company retain them as social media assets? Oakland-based blogger Noah Kravitz joins us to discuss the potentially precedent-setting lawsuit that may decide this question.

Guests:

Noah Kravitz, editor-at-large for TechnoBuffalo.com and former Phonedog.com employee

Eric Goldman, associate professor of law at Santa Clara University and director of the High Tech Law Institute

Tom McInerney, partner at Ogletree Deakins, a national labor and employment specialty law firm.
