Here’s an idea – why should you reinvent the content wheel when you don’t have to? Especially when time is money.
I have so much content in my archives and I try to be really smart, strategic and efficient about how I reuse what I already have. And you should too.
Instead of creating new…
Every business professional should have more than 500 LinkedIn connections. If you don’t, you aren’t maximizing your network or using LinkedIn effectively.
While the number of connections you have shouldn’t be focused on the quantity and instead the quality of relationships, my guess is that you aren’t thinking strategically or broadly enough about who you…
Law firms from around the world are submitting their blogs for admission into the LexBlog Network.
This morning, I had the pleasure of sitting in on a LexBlog team demonstration and discussion as to how the blogs were submitted, how the blogs were approved, how they were entered into the LexBlog Network site and…
Corporate philanthropy has been known to come in charitable contributions. Money.
Philanthropy can also come in the form of in-kind contributions. Goods or services offered free or at less than the usual charge result in an in-kind contribution.

Closed platforms ala…

As reported by the New York Times’ Michael Grynbaum,
“Joseph F. Kahn’s first job out of college in 1987 was covering Plano, Texas, for The Dallas Morning News, and he was impatient…
Legal blogging as a means of achieving a sustainable law practice that serves lower and middle income people seems very possible.
I‘m speaking tomorrow to a group of nineteen Texas lawyers who are participating in the Texas Opportunity and Justice Incubator (TOJI).
TOJI rightfully believes that while everyone deserves an equal chance to protect their…
The Open Legal Blog Archive, backed by LexBlog, will serve as a moderator of legal content, and that’s a good thing, despite its arguable infringement on free speech.
Fred Wilson’s post this morning, citing a piece by Techdirt’s Mike Masnick discussed why moderation.
