To tweet or not to tweet?

Can you judge someone by their Twitter followers? That is the question put by Trevor Pott on the blog page of UK technology website, The Register.

It’s a tough question, as a ‘follow’ could mean an individual, a group or a corporate account. If you’re following a company that has been involved in some immoral activity, have you endorsed that company – and its actions?
Mr Pott writes: ‘Where does the balance lie between asking a staff member to relinquish their freedom of expression and trying to maintain a corporate image that clients will accept? The law on this is different all around the world, and social customs are often more restrictive still.’
