A video posted on johnchow.com prompted me thinking of a possible law suit which could get Twitter in trouble. It claims to be the world’s first Twitter accident, a lady broke her leg while twittering on a charity walk for a cancer foundation. I did a quick look at Twitters TOS and to my surprise, there is no item mentioned about user safety when using Twitter.

If you were Twitter’s CEO, what you would do immediately after you saw this video?

I would do the following:

• Send this lady $100k to cover here medical expense, send the cancer foundation $100k to make the lady even happier (thus no law suit). This will make a perfect promotion case for Twitter while avoid a possible law suit.

• Amend the TOS as quick as possible to add in another term: users responsible for any harm incurred by using Twitter. This will eliminate possible law suit in the future.

• Post a safety warning of the home page warning people on safe twittering.

• Send 100kjob.info $100k for this advice. (As it may save Twitter millions in compensation payout)

Here is the post on johnchow.com with the video – World’s First Twitter Accident.
