ABA Social Networking Policy

ABA Advisory Panel: Social Network Usage

The ABA leadership and Standing Committee on Strategic Communications are developing a social network policy to determine how (if) the ABA will utilize social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. Thus far they have surveyed lawyers and law students separately and found as follows:

Among practicing lawyers:

1/3 of respondents did not have accounts on any of the 3 social networks mentioned
Among respondents who did have an account, LinkedIn was considered professional
Among respondents who had an account, Facebook was considered strictly casual
Lawyer attitudes toward social networks varied (waste of time, useful for business)
Most respondents favor an ABA group on LinkedIn, fewer favor one on Facebook
Younger respondents favored the idea of the ABA having a presence on social networks

Among law students:

they are much more engaged in social media than practitioners
nearly 90% of surveyed law students had Facebook accounts
about 75% of surveyed law students accessed Facebook daily
they tend to be more positive about social networks in general
they tend to favor ABA groups on both LinkedIn and Facebook

In a related story, the ABA Journal did not report that anyone was the least bit surprised by the findings.

Have a Fanpage on Facebook? Does it work?

Webtrends, which offers detailed web analysis tools, just rolled out a suite of new measurement capabilities for Facebook that allow users to view and compare Facebook data alongside data for other channels. For small firms and sole-practitioners, this development means that you can more easily measure and compare the effect of your Facebook and Twitter pages. Of course if you don’t have a Facebook or Twitter page then this might be a good time to get cracking.

The “Dont’s” of Social Media

I just came across a satirical article posted on Search Engine Journal on what not to do with social media for your company.

I’d do a rundown of the article, but I think it’s worth a read yourself.

Or actually, don’t… because social media is useless, right?

Google Buzz – Google Does Social

You may have heard about Gmail going social in a way that muscles in on the territory pioneered by Twitter and later co-opted by everyone from Facebook to LinkedIn to Friendfeed, and everyone else – namely status updates.

Google’s horse in this race is Buzz. Watch the video below to learn more or click on the image above from the Google Blog.

Then let me know how you like your Buzz.
