Agreed. But firing someone for expressing personal oppinions (if that is what happened, as the article sucgests) isn't "taking responsibility".
> "Twitter isn't even connected to MS. Seriously."
> What a meaningless statement.
You missed my point. The article suggests you can't tweet anything without your employee feeling you are representing them. That would be reasonable if you used the company website to communicate, but the person in the article had used twitter. There is absolutely no reason for a reader to believe he is representing anyone but himself.

"Companies really need do be less uptight and more grown up about the web."
Companies taking responsibility for the actions of their employees is far more grownup than whatever you're suggesting.
"Twitter isn't even connected to MS. Seriously."
What a meaningless statement.
