Not really sure what or how to use it just yet, but I do pick up pretty quickly. Been blogging for about 2 months, so sounds like a great thing to do. Question is, how do you find people who have interests that you may like or want to follow. Anyway, thanks for the great tips. Well Steve, I took your advice and jumped on Twitter.

Things that would appeal to a lawyer: - a lot less investment in time than with blogging - messages can be easily sent and monitored via blackberry or cell phone once one is set up - one message is sent to all contacts at once, yet can be very personal; contrast this to group email messages that are considered impersonal - brevity and wit are valued When you look at it this way, Twitter should be the lawyer's best network! Thank you for highlighting this, Steve. If a lawyer’s clients and other professional contacts are on Twitter, then he or she should definitely be there participating in the conversation.

As Susan pointed out, it takes some getting used to. It also much much more synchronous than a blog. Tweets can pass your by very quickly. The thing I really like about Twitter is its ability to interact with other programs and applications. I have Twitter update my Facebook profile and there is a Twitter widget on my blog (even on my internal blog). Steve -

I'm glad to see twitter mentioned by legal marketers. I've found one firm on Twitter -- from Australia -- as well as the ABA Journal (@abajournal). Anyone interested in the branding aspects and specific strategies to join the conversation should check out my blog. Good post, Steve. I’m glad to see twitter mentioned by legal marketers.
