Vokle gives a voice to the masses (sort of)

It looks like Vokle wants to become the video chat forum for the masses. Originally envisioned as a political platform, Vokle makes it so easy to broadcast and receive real-time streaming commentary that it just might make public debate over the Internet a reality. The platform has also been embraced and roundly praised by Arrianna Huffington … but I like it anyway.

Pwned! Google just bought your future!

"We Didn't See This One Coming"

While the Precogs could not be reached for comment, according to this story on TheNextWeb Google has acquired Recorded Future – a company that, yes, predicts the future. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Just Got Invited to Google Mobile Ads

I’m a big believer in mobile: the mobile Web, mobile ads, etc. Mobile means activity and action: somebody doing something useful. It means commerce.

So I’m very gratified that my law firm has been selected to participate in the Google Mobile Ad beta trial.

If your business uses mobile ads, let me know or comment under this post. We should share experiences.

The mobile ads deployed by Google will reference my current listing on Google Local - now known as Google Places:

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.

Clio Calendar Upgrade (and how!)

Here’s a video of the enhanced calendar put out by Clio on Vimeo.
The guys from Clio show off in this short video and I can’t blame them. Having used Clio for over a year, I did hand-springs when I saw the improvements. Almost makes me want to forgive them for winning the gold in Hockey at the Winter Games!
