Retired sport stars talk trolls, tweets, and teamwork

Brian O’Driscoll might have been at the Web Summit to talk technology yesterday but he dedicated some of his time to issuing out words of warning when it comes to social media use.

“You’ve said things and woken up the next day and deleted them, and hoped that no one has favourited or retweeted them,” the former Irish rugby international said on centre stage yesterday.

“And you think, ‘I’ve been hacked; I was hacked at 4.30 in the morning’. But I’m the only one that has my details, so the buck does stop with me,” joked the rugby pundit.
