Noah Kravitz wrote for the website PhoneDog and built up 17,000 followers on Twitter as @Phonedog_Noah. When he left, he changed the name of the account to @noahkravitz and kept the followers. In 2011 PhoneDog sued him. It said he owed $340,000, “or about $2.50 per follower per month for eight months.”
The court never decided who owned the followers. The two sides settled in December 2012. The terms were not disclosed, but Kravitz kept control of the account.
