You work hard and build up a good collection of work contacts
and clients. In the old days you kept their phone numbers and
comments about them in your own little contact book.
Nowadays you might build up a public profile for you and your
company through social media – Tweets, Facebook and
blogging. You expand the number of followers and hits on the social
media and it brings in clients and customers to your employer.
You decide to leave and set up business by yourself or move to
another company.
So who owns the social media contacts you built up with your
previous employer?
On the one hand you used their equipment and company name to
expand your contacts. The company asked you to start up a Twitter
account and paid you to build up contact lists and social media
'friends'.
