Laywers Using Twitter

Filed Under blogging 



I have to admit that I haven’t had much experience with Twitter. The extent of my knowledge of Twitter is that I know that prolific blogger Steve Dalton uses Twitter as a part of his blogging efforts, including his Hoosiers for McCain blog.

The latest trend to watch for is lawyers using Twitter.

Law Firm Web Strategy’s Steve Matthews writes about how lawyers (and others) can use Twitter to gain a professional edge.

Have you heard of Twitter yet? Perhaps not. And hopefully not, as this post is intended to explain one of the latest web-tools on our collective horizon.

What you should know is this: Politicians in the current US election are levering it, news outlets like CNN & Canada’s CBC are offering headlines that can be mixed into your reading stream, and companies like Southwest airlines are using it to interact with customers & take feedback.

It’s widely considered the fastest growing tool of web influence, and will at some point have a trickle down effect for the legal industry.

      Thanks for the mentions chris

      Very interesting that attorneys are now looking at twitter. Kinda dangerous since they have attorney client privelege issues.

      Hi Steve,

      I think they’re using Twitter to try to get people and other lawyers to go to their blawgs.

      I’m going to have to check it out. Can you run Twitter on a smartphone?
