Join Coach Deb LIVE: Protect Yourself From Squatters
May 12th, 2009 · by @CoachDeb · Filed Under: Coach Deb LIVE · How to Twitter · News from Twitter · Twitter Newbie · Twitter Tips & Tools · Twitter help
Business Day posted an article last week on a rising trend in social media: squatters. Seems that the latest Twitter trend is for squatters to snatch up trademark Twitter IDs. Nicole Kidman, Coca Cola, and Nike have all had their names snatched up by others. (You can read the full Squatters Creating Twittering Confusion article.)
Celebrities and major corporations aren’t the only victims. Some Internet Marketers who were late adopting Twitter had their names scooped up. @biz and @ev spoke about the trend on The View last week and outlined some of the verification strategies they will be putting in place to help prevent Twitter ID theft.
But what can you do in the meantime?
Join me this Thursday for a special LIVE broadcast where I’ll share some simple strategies to protect yourself from Cyber Squatters and what you can do if this happens to you. We’ll also share some Twitter Newbie Tips & what’s to come to help you use Twitter more effectively for your business.
