How You Can Tell Twitter Has Arrived

You can tell Twitter has arrived when writers like Michael Krigman start arguing that it is a danger to corporate information security. In a post titled Twitter is Dangerous, Michael Krigman states that “Twitter is rapidly becoming a serious threat to corporate information protection.” For example, he suggests a person twittering during a meeting could release valuable information to thousands of people.
