Client Papers – Secure Sharing for Lawyers

Client Papers

I was recently contacted by Dan Decker, COO of Client Papers, which provides a simple and inexpensive online document repository for secure sharing of documents.

According to Dan, as a sole practitioner and owner of a software company he was disappointed with available solutions for document sharing. In particular Dan says that he was after the elusive simple, stand-alone, file sharing solution. When he couldn’t find one he did what all good entrepreneurs do – he built it. The result is Client Papers.

The site is as simple as they come, has only 3 pricing levels, and tops out at less than $50/mo. for unlimited storage, attorney and staff users, and client users.

ABA TechShow 2011

As most readers know, I write a column for NYC-based TechnoLawyer called SmallLaw (formerly known as, no joke, “Crazy Mazy”). Anyhow, as TechnoLawyer’s intrepid Chicago reporter I’ve written about the ABA TechShow since 2008; and before that for this blog.

Here are the 12 videos we shot at this year’s TechShow. Feel free to subscribe to my YouTube Channel for more legal tech news and check out my TechnoLawyer pieces as well.

Opzi … it’s Quorariffic!

Opzi

You’ve heard about Q&A phenom Quora, right?  Well meet Opzi, the site started by Attorney Euwyn Poon that aims to bottle that Quora lightning and put in on your desktop.

Opzi is part bulletin board, part wiki, part e-mail in-box, part whiteboard, and part real-time-collaboration. The site threads, tags, and organizes every question and answer, then applies a powerful search engine and some machine intelligence. Voila – your office knowledge base grows effortlessly with every new question and answer. The possibilities are staggering. Deployed in a firm or across a group of solos and small firms, for instance, Opzi can draw information and resources, then deploy them when and where needed. In other words, instant knowledge-sharing.

Opzi is currently in closed beta. I’m just starting to appreciate it myself. If you’d like to join the experiment check it out here and let me know your thoughts.

LinkedIn Today – Your Linkedin Newspaper

Media_httpcdnventureb_yjcki
via venturebeat.com

According to this coverage by Techcrunch, LinkedIn’s CEO recently announced a more proactive strategy – a wise move given that LinkedIn is notorious for being a virtual desert  where little happens (hence the confusion when it is referred to it as a “social network”). Here is his list of features that will “transform” the LinkedIn landscape:

InMaps: A visual depiction of your network. Designed to tell you where you fit in, I guess.
Skills: Skills graph within professional communities. Who’s in demand. That kind of thing.
LinkedIn Today: Social news platform for professionals – the company’s newest product.

All 3 features are active now. Whether they have an affect is anyone’s guess.

Google Apps: the Big Reveal

Check out the video at Google Apps for Business

Hey Microsoft, stick this in your hard drive! Google Apps for Business, already fast gaining ground with both Fortune 500 and SMB customers with its dead simple suite of cloud-driven, maintenance-free business applications, just brought the smack down, introducing over 60 new applications (all Google properties) to every account for the bargain price of $0/month.  Game, set, match.

Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated

In this brilliant piece of unintentional self-parody social media consultant Louis Gray comments that in 5 years there will be no … social media consultants. Psych!

According to Mr. G, they will be as out-dated as webmasters. Wait … I thought we still had webmasters. Well now I’m just confused. BTW, I like Louis Gray‘s work. I follow him on Twitter and get his website‘s RSS feed, just as I do with respect to a handful of others such as Robert Scoble, Chris Brogan, Steve Rubel, and a few others. So yeah, I’m a fan. I just couldn’t resist the irony, though. Posted via web from practice (redux)
