what’s a googley lawyer? using
google is easy emulating google can be hard, for lawyers jeff jarvis: transparency? wwgd?

most googley

a brief history of internet
time...

’89, sir tim berners-lee: “It
seemed evident that it should be a space in which anyone could be creative, to which anyone could contribute.“

’96: creating credit card debt
we’re still paying off; aside from taking our money, sites are static

’00: silly season

’01: free, easy tools spawn
2-way web

’06: 50+million blogs; other asynchronous,
2-way communications flourishing

election year ’08 >> asynchronous
two-way web goes real-time

something big was *bound* to
come of all this

a lawyer’s most important commodity
and resource reasoning? information gathering and sharing is foundation for all that follows high signal/noise in intake and output

social news/net works rss tagging
aggregation blogs vlogs podcasts microblogging photo/video sharing wikis remote conferencing live video+chat social bookmarking asynchronous and real-time tools - both firehose and filter

eschew social media if -
you’re engaged in criminal acts and prone to be up-front about it... you’re abrasive - people leave you caustic voicemails? death or other unpleasant threats?... you’re likely to disclose military intelligence... you’re incapable of expressing yourself in 140 characters or less...

otherwise, have at it

a word about marketing you
get to fire them. particularly if they want to keep sending out brochures and newsletters. (or hiring atomic tangerine.)

a word about law (see:
firing marketing.) confidentiality, ethics, legal obligations are cross-platform. have simple policies+training. read eff’s blogging legal guide.
