Do you have rights to someone who follows you on twitter?
WLTX-TV is reporting that an Internet company is suing a former employee, claiming he left the corporation and took his 17,000 Twitter followers with him.
PhoneDog LLC says the former employee owes them $340,000 because when he resigned to do freelance work, he changed his Twitter name from PhoneDog–Noah to noahkravitz, and kept his followers. He also went to work for a competitor.
Kravitz, of Oakland, Calif., says in court documents he and his new company did not do anything wrong.
PhoneDog is a website that reviews all mobile devices such as phones and tablets. It has offices based in Mount Pleasant, S.C., along the coast.
PhoneDog said in the lawsuit that the former employee should pay $2.50 per follower per month for eight months. He worked for PhoneDog from 2006 until last year.
A hearing is set for next month.
