Linkstreaming

Posted on July 27, 2009
I've been thinking a lot lately about the ways I want to provide information to others on the Internet. First and probably most important is this blog; it's horribly outdated, and in desperate need of a makeover. That will be remedied soon -- I'll be working on a blog redesign over the next few months. (In the meantime, anyone have recommendations for someone who can convert a MySQL database?) For now, I'll be doing something a little bit easier, but I hope you'll think it's pretty cool. I'm taking a page directly from Steve Rubel (and when I say directly, I mean directly). I'm pleased to announce the debut of the Tom Mighell Linkstream, a collection of links on legal technology, e-Discovery, social media, and the Internet. Every day I'll be sharing the links and stories that I find on each of these topics -- you can give a thumbs up or down to each story, to show which ones you like best...
