Sue Morgan, head of legal at Australia-based Sigma Pharmaceuticals, said Twitter was ‘fantastic’, at the Tonkin General Counsel Summit in Sydney last week.
‘Contrary to popular belief, I do not tweet about going to the bathroom,’ Ms Morgan added. ‘And if people do tweet about that, you can choose not to follow them.’
