At least this one is over. Stay tuned for what’s next . . .

Last July, we told you about a young lady who, frustrated by the conditions in her rental housing, had posted on Twitter exactly what she thought about her landlord.

The landlord sued her for libel. Today, the case got thrown out.

I’d like to say “I told you so”, but I didn’t; not being an attorney I withheld opinion at the time. Now, with the court basically refusing to get involved one way or the other and going so far as to dismiss with prejudice (meaning the case can’t be refiled) my opinion deserves to be re-stated:

Business Change is hard, but unavoidable. USE TWITTER, but be careful how you do so.
