My New Twitter Tool - A Monday Fillip?

By Steven Matthews

With Simon F being in Spain and all, it seems we fell down a bit on one of our regular editorial items - the Friday Fillip.

While I won’t even try to fill Simon’s shoes, I would like to offer up my latest web-experiment as a Monday pseudo-fillip: legalvoices.com… A site showing the most recent twitter entries from individuals connected to the legal industry; around 150-ish at last count. If you’ve heard of twitter, and want to see what the service looks like without the investment, I’d encourage you to check it out.

Also related & potentially helpful are my recently posts on the rationale for the site, and the marketing benefits of twitter.

Finally, I’d also point like to out that the Slaw community is very lucky to our very own twitter maven Connie Crosby blazing a trail for us. With over one thousand followers, and more than six thousands entries, her reach is likely more dominant than anyone in the legal community. Certainly in Canada, and likely worldwide. Way to go, Connie!

If there are other twitter users in the crowd, please use the comments to chime in!
