The Internet has profoundly revolutionized all aspects of our lives, both personal and professional. It has literally opened up communication with a whole new world, a place in which many people spend almost as much time engaged in as in their physical one. While this new world is exciting for online business, laying the groundwork for establishing trust is imperative. Webster’s defines “Trust” as a “Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing.” Trust is an essential component to any good relationship, particularly in people-powered industries such as consulting, recruiting, education, childcare, healthcare, and professional services.Crederity, is a Inc., a web-based trust-building company that offers online identity and credential verification to people-powered companies.

[...] Hey There! Tony La Russa Is Suing Twitter. "Tony La Russa, the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals Major League Baseball franchise is suing Twitter claiming that someone is pretending to be him on the site. Of course, he could have just asked the service to take that fake account down — something which it does fairly regularly — but instead, the suit filed last month in the Superior Court of California in San Francisco seeks “unspecified damages.” Twitter has since taken down the fake account." Stupid people, stupid lawsuits. (tags: lawsuit legal twitter trademark) [...]

One of those old media newspapers did this… on April fools day. They retweeted historical events and condensed their back articles into 140 characters… it didn’t change how history happened… but it was good for a laugh. As have been your posts in TC comments. ^_^

Yes. Twitter offers somewhat better Security than many other Internet and Web Fads and Gimcracks.

They have a clearly stated policy forbidding users to impersonate anyone else, and they respond very promptly to requests by people (and companies) who discover that they are being impersonated and request that it be stopped. It seldom takes more than one or two days for the offending account to be investigated and turned off. They realized early in their development that there might be issues with impersonation, which is not quite the same thing as identity theft.
They set up procedures and policies to protect themselves, their community of users, and the people who might be impersonated. That’s as much as any reasonable person should expect.

Really, “should not have started something like this” … do you know how silly that sounds?
