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.

Google TV to be Unveiled Next Month
According to The Wall Street Journal, Google will unveil the Android-based television platform at its annual developer event in San Francisco on May 19 and 20. Hardware partners, including Sony, Intel and Logitech, have already announced plans to release products on the Google TV platform. Consumer electronics giant Samsung also recently confirmed that it’s considering the platform as well — an interesting move considering Samsung already has its own app store for Internet-connected TVs. Google has extended significant tendrils into the television space lately, both with the Google TV project and with a television search initiative with Dish Network. In some ways it’s a logical “third screen” move now that the internet company has established itself as a significant player in the mobile space.

(still more) ethical pitfalls of social networking
In Navigating the Ethical Pitfalls of Online Networking, Attorney Christine E. Mayle shares some considerations for social-networking lawyers. The piece is well written and concise, although I couldn’t help noticing that the list sounds awfully similar to the no-no’s we were warned about in connection with lawyer blogging; which were similar to the warnings about websites; which resembled the warnings concerning the use of e-mail by lawyers; which were only a hair different from the points brought up concerning Yellow Pages ads. In short, here we go again (stop me if you’re heard this one before):
-
Advertising Rules: Web sites are considered advertisements – as are social networking profiles.
-
Disclaimer Language: Some states require the use of disclaimer language in advertisements.
-
Pre-Approval: Some regulators require a pre-approval process for any lawyer advertisement.
-
Testimonials: LinkedIn and Avvo allow the use of testimonials, but some states prohibit them.
-
Expert Designation: Avoid “expert” and leave references to legal “specialties” out of your profile.
-
Revaling Too Much: Don’t disclose client information in posts or updates. Think before you post.
-
Keep it Clean: Assume your post will be viewed by your firm, clients, opponents, judge, and mom.
