The trouble with Twitter

The use of Twitter in relation to workplace has hit the headlines again.

This time it involves the resignation of a magistrate, who used Twitter to comment on court proceedings.

Mr Molyneux, a magistrate for 16 years, said he chose to resign after an individual within the court system lodged a complaint.

"I think things have escalated out of control," he said.

"I was using the technology after hearing a remand case just to inform local people and others that follow me in my role of magistrate and didn't think I'd done anything wrong.

"I didn't prejudice a case, I didn't do anything like that."

Ahead of the times??!!

Now this is just crazy. I twitter, but I always edit what I say. I don't go on a posting frenzy. It's almost the same as bashing a co-worker in your blog--even if you put it anonymously (his/her name and/or yours) it's still office misconduct in my book.
