Legal Commentary

Let's turn the mic over to Larry Bodine, member of LTN's edit board and speaker extraordinaire: 

Dear Colleagues,

I wanted to let you know that I will be a speaker for an upcoming Law Journal Newsletters webinar, "Getting New Business from Online Social Networks," on Thursday, May 15, 2008 from 12:00PM ? 2:00PM Eastern Time.

Thousands of lawyers have created profiles on LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace and Plaxo Pulse ? but they don't know how to use them to get new clients and make more money. Yet with the right approach, online social networking can be a powerful tool for generating new business, as some in the legal profession are beginning to discover.

This live web audio conference will examine the promise of social networking for lawyers, with particular emphasis on LinkedIn because of its business-orientation. Featuring detailed guidance on specific capabilities and features, it will explain how you can use social networks to:

* Get professional introductions
* Find and stay in touch with former colleagues
* Ask questions of everyone in your network
* Seek endorsements and recommendations
*Search for jobs
*Use a social networking listing as a web page alternative
*Join or start an SIG
and more

As a special favor, Law Journal Newsletters (ALM) has arranged a special discount for my clients/colleagues.  You can receive 30% off the registration price or CD-ROM of the presentation when you use promo code 2215083

Register up until May 14th  or by phone at 212-313-9248.
