I think it's helpful for people to point out features (etc.) but asking whether a certain group should use a network just seems less useless. tag:www.spamnotes.com,2012-01-20:15584721 Jay Parkhill 2012-01-20T17:13:57Z 2012-01-20T17:13:57Z That one drives me crazy too. <br /><br />The question is really "should humans use Pinterest (or Twitter, or ball point pens)?"<br /><br />The answer is "yes, if it works for them". Full stop. <br /><br />The (very slightly) more pertinent question is "HOW can lawyers use [Pinterest] effectively?" That's what journalists are supposed to write about on slow news days.<br /><br />I like the idea of Pinterest as a visual Delicious. I keep telling myself to use it to bookmark statutes and other useful information on the web. On my priority list it sits just above putting 1 space after a period and eating more kale. tag:www.spamnotes.com,2011-11-16:12971634 shg http://blog.simplejustice.us 2011-11-16T18:50:08Z 2011-11-16T18:50:08Z It's unfair for thought leaders to point out that others are laggards. After all, if it wasn't for followers, how could you be a leader? tag:www.spamnotes.com,2011-11-07:12694754 Tom Galvani http://www.galvanilegal.com/ 2011-11-07T16:23:44Z 2011-11-07T16:23:44Z Venkat - I'd add "be in touch." Though perhaps it is wrapped up in diligent/ethical/friendly, prompt and frequent communication - that going above the ethical requirement - is key. tag:www.spamnotes.com,2011-10-12:12112151 Jay Parkhill 2011-10-12T21:56:04Z 2011-10-12T21:56:04Z Everyone can keep improving so having someone to discuss ideas or specific engagements with is valuable. I think you are reacting to the idea that it feels weird as a lawyer to *pay* someone to do this. It's easier (inc. under bar rules) to have a senior person/specialist involved in the transaction than looking over your shoulder as an outsider.<br /><br />A marketing consultant can also be valuable and easier to wrap one's head around, though I agree with your point that business development is a years-long (and continual) process so short-term results are hard to come by.<br /><br />Is there anything else law-practice consultants do? I haven't paid much attention but I thought they were mostly about generating more business. tag:www.spamnotes.com,2011-08-26:11486599 shg http://blog.simplejustice.us 2011-08-26T23:55:33Z 2011-08-26T23:55:33Z Klout can be good when you need a nosh. After all, what's a drink without a nosh? tag:www.spamnotes.com,2011-08-25:11471170 Bruce Carton http://www.securitiesdocket.com 2011-08-25T18:23:48Z 2011-08-25T18:23:48Z Okay--so no discussion of Klout and no discussion of LinkedIn. Got it! :-)
