On Monday I mentioned an article in PR week about companies being "brand-jacked" on Twitter.
Fliss, my eagle eyed proofer, spotted this follow up article:
Following last week’s article in which Cow PR advised us to register our Twitter IDs to prevent us from being ‘brand-jacked’, Rainier PR discovered that Cow had not actually registered its own ID.
So, I had a little giggle and then realised that whilst I use louisetriance as my twitter "name" I’d left ukrecruiter completely unattended for anyone to pinch. Doh!
Get on the social media sites and secure your personal name and your company brand names. Take the time to monitor social networks and set up alerts like Google Alerts so you hear about it if someone is talking about you…..
