Facebook for Lawyers

By Edward Poll, J.D., M.B.A., CMC

In a recent post, Joshua Fruchter cited several statistics that I find quite interesting:

• There are more than 63 million active users on Facebook
• Since 2007, Facebook grows by more than 250,000 per year
• There's been an average 3% growth annually since 2007
• Active users double every 6 months

Interestingly, according to Joshua and Facebook, more than half of its users are college graduates and professionals. Sounds like a good demographic for lawyers!

One challenge, though, is how many of these professional and social networking entities can one participate in ... Consider, for example, LinkedIn, supposedly a primary business networking entity. And what about YouTube? One could spend an entire life in this new, virtual world ... and I'm not sure that would produce the best results. So, how does one choose?
