social media best practices: never too early
While lawyers continue to languish in social media limbo, Social Media Best Practices for Law Schools wants to generate discussions that set the pace in this evolving area.
Created by University of Iowa student Laura Bergus, the website now has over 110 members from several dozen schools. Members including administrators, career counselors, faculty, students, librarians, and even practitioners, all of whom are encouraged to share perspectives, policy recommendations, and other input on the use of social media in the legal profesion.
Most interesting to me was the fact that this website was built using the Ning platform, which got its start in 2005 empowering users to show off and share applications. Those apps could be assembled into unique applications. Ning has changes a lot but this site shows that the initial idea is still valid.
