One of my favorite destinations on the web, Real Lawyers Have Blogs, by social media master Kevin O’Keefe, posted about law firms streaming law content onto social media sites.  Check out Kevin’s post, where he takes the position that doing so is awkward and goes against social media etiquette.  In my comment to his post, [...]

This post comes after a week of discussion on this issue.  The Florida Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee gave an opinion to this ethics question submitted by a judge: can a judge add lawyers who may appear before the judge as “friends” on a social networking site, and permit such lawyers to add the judge as [...]

Aardvark – Social Media Q&A (this ain’t your sister’s Magic 8-Ball)

Remember the ’80′s?  Of course you do: big hair, the start of MTV, Coke v. Pepsi, Back to the Future, and glam rock (even if you didn’t live through these wonderful times you can “relive” them with I Love the ’80′s).  One of the things I fondly remember was my sister’s Magic 8-ball, a little [...]

Facebook Faux Pas Post

Last week I made a Facebook boo boo, or Faux Pas if you will, and I have been hearing about it from friends and family since then.  Don’t let it happen to you!  Here’s the story. We were on “vacation,” having been forcefully sent out of our apartment so plumbers could fix septic issues (in [...]

Death and Facebook

An old friend died last week.  The circumstances of his death are still not clear: he was in good health, lived alone, and was getting ready to celebrate his 35th birthday that same week.  We hadn’t really hung out in a few years, having gone our separate ways in life, but we’d see each other [...]

Social Network Contact Importers & Aggregators

In my quest to get to 10,000 followers on Twitter by 2010 (read more about this in an upcoming post), I realized something: all social network sites (Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook, etc.) ask you to import contacts via your email contacts lists to help you find connections.  One problem,  I do not keep my email address [...]

12 Angry Twitters Cause Mistrial

“Did you hear?” my friend the Prosecutor asked me on our ride home from work yesterday.  I had already answered his question about how work was going, expressing my enthusiasm about a new social networking project I am involved in.  I guess this made me the new carpool resident expert on technology in the law.

Putting My Mom on Facebook

“What’s this Facebook?” my mom asked. “It’s a social networking site online,” I said.  “Why?”  She went on to tell me about a conversation she recently had with a distant relative through marriage.  My mom was telling this person the latest news about my 2-month old son, Gilad.  The distant relative through marriage responded, “oh [...]
