TweetPhoto Goes After Blogger For Posting Audio of Interview


Seas ar ShaorĂ¡il


TweetPhoto (now former) CEO Dan Caulfield did a 23 minute podcast interview with Frank Peters earlier this month. He apparently said too much in the interview, disclosing confidential information about partnerships. He was fired by the company for the transgression.


That’s enough drama to make me want to listen to the podcast. But it gets better. The company also had its lawyers fire off a letter from its law firm to Frank Peters, demanding that he remove the podcast.


Just to be clear, a company is threatening legal action against a blogger for posting an on the record sound recording of the company’s CEO.


“The interview posted on your website contains numerous factual inaccuracies and disparaging statements from Mr. Caulfield that TweetPhoto is concerned were made in an effort to harm the economic prospects of TweetPhoto and may constitute a violation of the laws prohibiting unfair competition, defamation, as well as tortious interference with contractual relations and prospective economic advantage,” the letter says.

Commentary


The audio is still available. I have downloaded it and have posted it just in case the attorneys succeed in getting the blogger to take it down. This is a case where bloggers must take a line from Spartacus and stand up.


We must teach these tyrants that they will not be allowed to threaten bloggers and run roughshod over them. I don't care if the blogger in question is a Lefty or a Conservative, I believe that we should all stand with them.


The action of the company in this matter makes me NOT want to use their service. In fact, it has encouraged me to discourage others from using it.  I use TwitPic, and have an account at yFrog for backup purposes.


On second thought, I'll go ahead and post the audio for you so you can judge for yourself if you think TweetPhoto has acted inappropriately...










Download a copy for yourself.



**12.12pm** I've listened to the entire interview, and don't see what the fuss is about. I do know that by kicking up a fuss...TweetPhoto has GUARANTEED that many more will listen to the interview than would have in the first place. 


I know I never would have...

If anyone should be fired, it should be the people who started the witch hunt.

Watch Atlantis Launch on STS-129 Mission Live;
Updated with Video From Liftoff


STS-129 Crew Portrait













Live Feed provided by SpaceVidCast. I'll replace the video player with a recording as soon as it becomes available.

Watch other views of the launch that have been recorded by other people by scrolling down the page.



Commander Charles O. Hobaugh, Pilot Barry E. Wilmore, Mission Specialists Mike Foreman, Robert L. Satcher Jr., Randy Bresnik and Leland Melvin are secured in their seats aboard shuttle Atlantis. Radio checks are continuing for the crew while the countdown clicks down on schedule for a liftoff at 2:28 p.m. EST.

The launch pad Closeout Crew will close the hatch, pressurize the crew cabin, check for leaks, and then finish up remaining work inside the pad's environmentally controlled White Room before leaving the area.

Shuttle Weather Officer Kathy Winters reported to Launch Director Mike Leinbach that the launch forecast is "green," which means there are no weather constraints for liftoff this afternoon.



From Wikipedia:



STS-129 (ISS assembly flight ULF3)[3] is a scheduled mission to the International Space Station(ISS) to be flown by Space Shuttle Atlantis. The launch date for the mission is targeted for November 16, 2009.[4][5]
STS-129 will focus on staging spare components outside the station. The 11-day flight is scheduled to include at least three spacewalks. The payload bay will carry two large ExPRESSLogistics Carriers holding two spare gyroscopes, two nitrogen tank assemblies, two pump modules, an ammonia tank assembly, a spare latching end effector for the station's robotic arm, a spare trailing umbilical system for the Mobile Transporter, and a high-pressure gas tank. This will be the first flight of an ExPRESS Logistics Carrier. The completion of this mission will leave five space shuttle flights remaining until the end of the program.[6]
NASA is holding its first-ever live Shuttle launch tweetup with 100 members of the general public atKennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.[7]





This is recorded from the Life Sciences Laboratory.



This was the view from the Banana Creek VIP viewing area.


Shot from the Titusville, FL Bridge. Sound is crappy, but...hey it's the shuttle seen from closer than I'll probably ever get to a launch!!!


This one also has sound issues and is the view from CCAFS (Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on the beach.
