$357 per character.  That’s $50,000 divided by the 140 characters that Twitter.com allows in a tweet.
Amanda Bonnen is being sued by Horizon Realty Group in Chicago over a tweet that she posted about living in a moldy apartment.

Here’s my one piece of advice.  Don’t put it on your twitter, Facebook, MySpace, or any other page if you wouldn’t want it in public records or used against you in a court case.  Even if you go back and remove it later, there are still archives.  In this case, in reading her other posts on the archive, she sounds like someone that just needs to complain about everything, and even if her gripe IS true, she’ll be made out to the jury and judge as a troublemaker that can’t ever be satisfied.

Be careful what you tweet, it may just come back and peck you!
