Blogs and iMacs

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

According to Dave :



Another indicator of Apple’s influence in the blogging world. I couldn’t make my window wide enough to show the huge number of weblogs pointing to the iMac rollout. I’ve never seen any story get that kind of rating from Daypop. Microsoft doesn’t even appear on the chart.

That would probably be what is considered in the statistics world as a self-determining survey. Since a much higher percentage of technology blogs are written by techno-geeks than average computer users, and since techno-geeks are infamous for always having the newest, coolest stuff and Windows hasn’t been “cool” in years, then by default, bloggers are more likely to use Macs. Besides, we all know in the “blogging world” it’s almost anathema to say anything good about MS, so they only show up on Daypop when there’s a new bug in IE. 🙂

    The concept of realtime blogging at conferences is a bad idea. Not only is it rude to the speakers, because you’re obviously not paying as much attention and thinking about what they are saying, it’s a waste of your time and money. Case in point, how many bloggers have written something like “Missed some stuff…

    And The World Keeps Turning….

    Apparently, while 2011 was a year of huge changes for me, the changes just keep coming in 2012. I won’t be relocating again, but I will be switching jobs, and that is going to also impact what I’m doing on this site. I’ve accepted a Litigation Support Trainer position with AccessData.

    I started playing around a bit with delicious.com a bit tonight. There’s a pretty good possibility that I’ll be switching my link blog away from Bloglines in the near future, mostly because of the availability of tags and tag-specific RSS feeds that I’m going to be incorporating into my category feeds as I move forward…

    A couple of interesting things I saw in my aggregator this morning. Suprisingly there wasn’t that much to look at after not having been in the office since Weds at noon. Guess lots of folks switched to light-blogging mode for the holiday and the weekend! Good sites for MT Junkies In case my other site…

    Self Marketing

    Let me just say, up front, that I’m not a marketing guy. I don’t work in marketing, and I don’t particularly like the way many places go about marketing. That being said, I know quite a few people who do work in marketing, and I’m always interested in how people in the legal industry market…

  • An Example of the Complex Pressures Facing Law Firms

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    So, if you are a firm with Morgan Stanley as a client, maybe the easy thing is to just say “hey, our huge client wants us back in the office and wants to have in-person meetings, so you’ve got to come back”.

    But it’s never really that simple, is it? What do you do if your staff and lawyers really don’t want to be in the office full-time? What if some of the same people who first attracted Morgan Stanley to your firm are willing to leave to work at a firm that is more flexible?

    Now that you are only recruiting among the legal folks who want to be in the office five days a week, is your talent up to snuff to keep Morgan Stanley as a client?
