Is there such as thing as being fired for Twittering?

March 26th, 2008

CNET - “It’s well known that bloggers can be fired for writing the wrong things about their jobs. Is this going to be a phenomenon for Twitter users as well?”

Probably, although if I haven’t been fired yet, then nobody will. Apparently I offend everybody! ;-)

On that note, I do not miss Twitter as much I thought I would. Maybe I’ll feel it after more than one week.

    The thing is, it is never the medium, but the people. Some of the comments in the article suggest that it is an excuse to fire someone, not the sole reason. If you are under the gun, people bring out all sorts of things to get you canned.

    Twitter is like a gun, guns don’t kill people, people kill people :)
