Who gets custody of Twitter when an employee quits?

Another day, another post-employment dispute over a social media account.

In this case, Noah Kravitz worked for
PhoneDog<http://twitter.com/#%21/phonedog>,
which is an "interactive mobile news and reviews web resource." Kravitz
worked as a reviewer and video blogger. He used the "@PhoneDog_Noah"
Twitter account, and it amassed approximately 17,000 followers. When he
left, PhoneDog asked for the account "back" but he demurred, instead
changing the account handle from @PhoneDog_Noah to
"@noahkravitz<http://twitter.com/#%21/noahkravitz>".
PhoneDog sued, asserting claims for misappropriation of trade secrets,
interference with economic advantage; and conversion.
