Fun with Four Square
Lately I have been experimenting with Four Square, a location-based social networking platform. For me, adding the geographic component of social networking adds another serendipity factor to the web 2.0 movement. Serendipity of location. “What’s Happening” + “Where are you” It allows you to explore tools to create meeting chances. We have already seen Twitter [...]

Intel’s Social Media Guidelines
Intel has published their Social Media Guidelines. I like their approach of giving users guidelines for they should and should not do. The context is to place the responsibility on the individual.

Back in June of 2007, I came across a story about Facebook at Law Firms. A Magic Circle firm had banned Facebook, then abruptly lifted the ban.

Why Social Computing Aids Knowledge Management
I stumbled across this CIO.com article by Michael Fitzgerald : Why Social Computing Aids Knowledge Management. (I missed it originally because it was not listed under the Knowledge Management articles on CIO.com.) In fact, social computing represents a third wave for KM: the set of tools and processes companies use to create, track and share [...]
Social Networking – Marketing Boon, Malpractice Nightmare or Simple Boondoggle
The recruiting manager has created a firm FaceBook site. The marketing director is encouraging all the lawyers to join LinkedIn. The firm’s general counsel is freaking out over the possible ethic violations and malpractice possibilities. The older lawyers simply aren’t sure what to do. The younger lawyers are wondering what all the hoopla is about. [...]
