Video: The Future of the Legal Blogosphere (And it isn't Twitter)

I visited the LegalTech show in New York today, sponsored by IncisiveMedia. I was invited into their booth for an interview by Jill Windwer (Vice President, Law.com). The subject was yesterday's post on The Future of the Legal Blogosphere.

This is the video version:



Note: I am an advertising affiliate of IncisiveMedia, formerly ALM. I discussed this last July in A Personal Injury Blog Grows Up (Welcome ALM Readers)

Caught the video of your interview. The more I look at it, the more I read on twitter about ltny, the more I see the ridiculous statements like "twitter will be bigger" than TV, the more I am backing away.

When it comes to PI attorneys, certainly the listserves have and will be king.

I see websites as still for the most part untapped when it comes to PI lawyers. Refinement and correct use of web advertising is still in baby steps for certain niches of PI law.

Lawyers don't just send their file clerks to argue supreme court cases; lawyers don't rely on a temp to close a potential client, yet lawyers shuffle off their $$$ to some entity that does not know their business.

Looking at how the basics are being handled - and mastering the basics - is key before moving on to something that is the flavor of the month.

Agreed. I think the enthusiasm shows a desire for more social networking, but the platform isn't as good as other possibilities. It will be superseded, just as Google blew away Yahoo.

The New York Personal Injury Law Blog is sponsored by its creator, Eric Turkewitz of The Turkewitz Law Firm. The blog might be considered a form of attorney advertising in accordance with New York rules going into effect February 1, 2007 (22 NYCRR 1200.1, et. seq.) As of July 14, 2008, Law.com became an advertiser, as you can see in the sidebar. Law.com does not control the editorial content of the blog in any way.

Throughout the blog as it develops, you may see examples of cases we have handled, or cases from others, that are used for illustrative purposes. Since all cases are different, and legal authority may change from year to year, it is important to remember that prior results in any particular case do not guarantee or predict similar outcomes with respect to any future matter, including yours, in which any lawyer or law firm may be retained.

Some of the commentary may be become outdated. Some might be a minority opinion, or simply wrong. No reader should consider this site (or any other) to be authoritative, and if a legal issue is presented, the reader should contact an attorney of his or her own choosing for advice.

Finally, we are not responsible for the comments of others that may be added to this site.
