Social Networks for Lawyers
The following is not meant to be legal advice.

 

 

The California Lawyer March 2008 issue reported social networking sites on the rise for lawyers.  It seems that some lawyers are looking for social networks that are geared towards the legal field.  Some legal chat email lists confirm this when attorneys report they get little benefit from joining mainstream sites such as LinkedIn, FaceBook, MySpace.

 

 

The article mentions LawLink and Legal OnRamp as popular sites for attorneys.  Mainstream social networks seem to connect people to old friends from college, law school, former employers, but do not benefit in terms of meeting potential clients, or other attorneys to get legal information. 

 

At the same time, there are reports of the decline in the popularity of mainstream social networks.  For instance, on February 12, 2008, the Wall Street Journal reported that Bill Gates stopped using FaceBook.  It seems that the updating of profiles and responding to connections has taken not only a toll on some people’s time, but also on their privacy.  Social networks replicate in person networking, but it is difficult to replace the benefits of personal relationships.
