Does Your Employer Own Your Social Media Accounts?

If you work in a profession where your social media accounts somehow relate to your job, what happens when you get fired or decide to leave? Who owns the accounts?  Check Your Contract For An Intellectual Property Agreement If your contract with your employer includes an intellectual property agreement, your employer might claim that they own anything and everything that you wrote while you worked for them. That includes every email, blog post, and status update that you've written during that time.
