That bizarre lawsuit over Twitter followers is moving forward thanks to U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James. It is funny how the company claims to "own" the Twitter followers.
Kravitz worked for the Mount Pleasant-based company a website that reviews mobile devices like phones and tablets from 2006 until 2010. PhoneDog sued him in July, saying that, when he resigned, Kravitz changed his Twitter name from PhoneDogNoah to noahkravitz, and kept his 17,000 followers. The company said the followers should be treated like a customer list, and therefore PhoneDog's property. According to the company, Kravitz should pay $2.50 per follower per month for eight months, or a total of $340,000.
