Update on Woman being sued for tweet

According to MSN, who report that the woman who is being sued for $50,000 by her letting agent for tweeting something they didn't like, is now counter suing them for an unrelated matter.

As mentioned in my first post on this the publicity being generated around the world for this issue is surely defeating the original aims of the letting company not to have their reputation besmirched. And look at what is now happening, they are subject to a world of opinion from people who otherwise would have not had a clue that they existed.

We were talking about this yesterday and the thought occurred that there is no such thing as bad advertising; maybe what we have here is a classic example. If this keeps going on there won't be many people in the connected world who haven't heard of Horizon, maybe its job done!

Anyway thanks for that Lorla - just what we are looking for in the ongoing study of stupidity
