Track the Legal Industry on Twitter

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I was on the road today, first touring the Gettysburg battlefield despite the rain and chill this morning, then Angela and I driving all the way back to Columbus, so even though Steven Vore was kind enough to send me an email alerting me to Steve Matthews new experiment, I didn’t get to actually look at it until just a bit ago.

The first look at Legal Voices though, and I immediately saw that this has some nice potential. Not only in tracking what folks in the legal industry are talking about, but also finding new twitterers to follow in my industry. Nice work Steve!

    The Stories We Tell Ourselves – Conspiracy Theories

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 4 minutes

    I’m obsessed with conspiracy theories. Not because I believe any of them, but rather I’m obsessed with why people not only believe them, but are completely unwavering in their belief. Part of it is the very nature of a good conspiracy, that the media and “experts” are all in on it, thus no contradictory information…

    Interpersonal skills count

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’ve written about this a number of times in terms of working in tech support, but a conversation the other day reminded me why it’s important in every aspect of IT work. I was talking with Douglas Welch, in an interview for his podcast that’ll be released in Feb. sometime, and he asked about what…

  • Linked – Managers Need a Toolbox for the “Post-Everything” Era

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Continue to be great at what you do and hope for an opening in management is not a career plan. That is what appears to be on offer at many companies though. They aren’t preparing anyone to be a manager in the future, and they aren’t increasing headcount that might require more team leads and managers, so how long do we expect people to wait? Add in the number of “senior” folks with higher salaries who find themselves part of a reduction in force, or the number of people who’ve watched their current job change over and over until they find themselves doing work they never signed up for in the first place, and it’s no wonder that workers are taking responsibility for their own growth, by choosing workplaces that give them better opportunities.

    No one has to stay and work for you for the next 20-25 years. They can, and will, go elsewhere if there’s no clear path forward. I don’t blame them.

    Linked: Ongoing M365 Tenant Upgrades/Migrations

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    It’s not normal for us to be using a platform that works one way, then changes and works another way two weeks later, but that is absolutely the way the Agile development is going to happen. The decision to change will be pushed by the business case for making the change, eDiscovery will be a second thought, if a thought at all.

    That means two things in my mind in addition to the things Greg lays out in his post below.

    1. You have to test, test, test. Constantly. You have to stay on top of new features, old feature changes, undocumented changes, etc.

    2. The legal industry as a whole is going to have to get a lot more comfortable with “good faith efforts” being a little more of a gray area as these changes get made. What we could collect easily before, may require a lot more time and effort today, or it may not be possible today because of a bug in a recent update.

    It’s going to happen. Whether you want to talk about M365, Google, cloud document management, cloud review platforms, or even cloud backups. Things will happen beyond our ability to control them, and those things will impact eDiscovery. Are we going to be OK accepting that?

    The Local Pub Might be Online

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’ve used the image of the Jury Room in Columbus, Ohio in presentations about social media for years. The point I made usually went something along these lines: This is a pub that sits across the street from the courthouse in Columbus. It’s been there since 1831. Once upon a time, if you wanted to…

  • Future of Twitter – Segmentation

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    In several recent conversations on Twitter, and elsewhere, I’ve been noticing a bit of a trend. Seems like some of the “add-on” services that use Twitter to piggy back the social aspects of their own service, FourSquare being a prime example, seem to have an interesting effect on how followers interact with some of the…

  1. It was actually pretty fun to create too. 🙂

    After putting that post out earlier in the week on the value of twitter, it got me thinking about an industry tracker. I could have built a directory, but that’s pretty old school. And no one wants to discover new readers who never use the service.

    Now I’m thinking about using #themes and tracking them on the site too. Kick out the RSS, and build tracking pages on the site. … an ongoing conversation that could always be added too.

    Lots of possibilities anyway. 🙂 Thanks for blogging it Mike. Much appreciated… S.
