Online Social Networking: Is It a Productivity Bust or Boon for Law Firms?
I recently had an article on Faceblocking published in the March 2009 issue of Law Practice Magazine: Online Social Networking: Is It a Productivity Bust or Boon for Law Firms? Steve Matthews helped me conduct an informal poll to see if law firms were still blocking access to social networking sites. Our theory was proven [...]
LinkedIn Events versus Upcoming
LinkedIn launched the LinkedIn Events module: Announcing LinkedIn Events. You get event recommendations, you can indicate if you are going and you can see who else is going. Once you mark an event, it shows up on your LinkedIn profile. This is a great feature, but not a new idea. I have been a fan [...]
LinkedIn Has Added Applications
One of my earlier concerns about LinkedIn was that it was very static and was little more than an online rolodex. They just launched a new applications feature that could dramatically changed LinkedIn. These applications allow you to pull content from other sources into your LinkedIn profile, making it much more dynamic. Just a few [...]
Large law Firms and LinkedIn Groups
Greg Lambert over at the 3 Geeks and a Law Blog did a study of large law firm usage using LinkedIn Groups. He ranked the firms by number of members in the group. Skadden, Arps came in first place with 839 members in the Skadden Alumni LinkedIn group. Goodwin Procter came in 16th place for [...]
Social Networking for Lawyers and Legal IT
I had the pleasure of hosting a lunch meeting for the International Legal Technology Association to talk about Social Networking for Lawyers and Legal IT. I was joined by Jenn Steele and Bob Ambrogi in talking about Facebook, LinkedIn, blogging, Twitter, Legal OnRamp and Martindale Connected. We looked at the ways we each use these [...]
Social Network Site Survey
Last summer, I surveyed The Firm’s summer associates to see how they use some of the popular social networking sites: A Survey on the Use of Social Networks and Updated Social Network Site Survey. I ran the same survey this summer to see what changes have happened over the past year. 90% of the summer [...]
Martindale and LinkedIn Redux
In my previous post [LinkedIn is Now For Lawyers] I was impressed with integration of Martindale-Hubbell with LinkedIn. Steve Matthews of Stem Legal pointed out that what I thought was a special integration is actually just using LinkedIn’s API. Steve doles out the details in a comment to Kevin O’Keefe’s post [If you can't beat [...]
LinkedIn is Now For Lawyers
The venerable Martindale-Hubbell directory of lawyers and law firms has teamed up with LinkedIn to provide a social networking function to the listings in LinkedIn. When I go to the listing for Debevoise & Plimpton LLP in Martindale-Hubbell, I see the blue LinkedIn icon next to the name of the firm. If you click on [...]
LinkedIn Redux
In yesterday’s post, LinkedIn is Worth $1 Billion, I had a clear mathematical error in computing Bain Capital’s interest in LinkedIn. In the meanwhile, I stumbled across 100+ Smart Ways to Use LinkedIn and Stephen Smith‘s LinkedIn and Productivity. Perhaps those sites will give you more value than my math.
LinkedIn is Worth $1 Billion
The New York Times ran an article on LinkedIn in Yesterday’s paper: At Social Site, Only the Businesslike Need Apply. (by Brad Stone) Most interesting was the value assigned to the company as part of a new capital investment. Bain Capital invested $53 million. Apparently this was approximately 18.9% 5.3% of the company, because they [...]
