TinyChat Upgrade: Etherpad, Whiteboard, YouTube
We’re big fans of TinyChat a web-based chat startup that has been growing like gangbusters and recently won a Crunchie for best bootstrapped startup. TinyChat started out as a simple IRC-style chatroom app to complement conversations on platforms like Twitter, has been steadily building out its innovative platform to include video chat and screensharing options, live video streaming, and Facebook Connect.
Now the platform is making chats more social with the addition YouTube video integration, document collaboration with Etherpad, and whiteboard features powered by the company’s own Flockdraw. The social YouTube feature allows a moderators to pay any public YouTube video for everyone participating in the chat.

list.it – easy notes anywhere
I’m a real fan of apps, applets, add-ons, and other bite-sized web-enabled tools that make life easier. List.it is a perfect example. It’s super-simple and enables you to do one thing easily: take notes in any browser, organize them fast, take them anywhere via mobile device, or just check them out on any computer. Notes are securely stored remotely, and accessible through any browser. Sure, there are already a lot of free bookmarking services, note-taking services, and list services such as
But list.it goes the extra mile to be simpler, easier to use, and a cinch to manage. So what’s not to like?

(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.
