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.
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.
