If the guy was a senior Telstra exec they wouldn’t have batted an eyelid. No, this is just the brass getting antsy because a peon expressed an unpreapproved opinion.

It’s not unlike Silvio Berlusconi’s Italy.

Thanks Bronwen,

A great wrap up of a complicated issue.

We wait with baited breath to see how Leslie fares at work today. I note that the protaganists have gone quiet.

The last time I remember this much public support for someone (Leslie) was the brilliant “Free WInona” campaign.

Asher’s follow up article was pretty damning but Telstra still have the opportunity to be heroes (or villains) today.

I’m more concerned about the fact that companies are taking steps to curb the kinds of uses you can get from tools like Twitter.

Especially from companies that are still learning how to use these platforms to ‘engage’.

Who ‘engages in social media’? It makes it sound as though there’s something wrong with being a part of it.

To be in social media is to just use it like everyday things…it’s not a statement. When companies understand that, they’ll have a better foothold.
