Find out. Do some legwork. I know it’s lofty thinking to believe that everyone is willing and able to do some legwork, but it’s tough to feel bad for people who don’t even try — especially reporters!

Great post, Chris.

Thanks for your comment. I think it’s a good idea–it’s how Facebook verifies that you really do work at the place you mention in your profile. Until Twitter implements some sort of verification feature, the best advice that I can see is to grow your company’s network on your own.

Thanks for sharing the link!

Last week, I wrote about a different approach, only allowing company brand accounts to be registered to someone with that company’s corporate email account. http://twittermaven.blogspot.com/2008/09/brandjacking.html

What do you think?
