Twitter for Business Litigation Lawyers

By Francis G. X. Pileggi, Esq.

This is intended as short reflection piece, so I'll ask for your indulgence to the extent this is "off topic", but since this is a Sunday afternoon, a little reflection is in order. Twitter is a free online tool that is increasingly used by "Internet-savvy" lawyers who do business litigation, and others,  to keep in touch with other lawyers and friends, as well as clients and family. Some might say it is a natural evolution or logical development for those who blog, as it has been described as "mini-blogging".

There is still much for me to learn about Twitter and how to use it, as I have only begun to become familiar with it, but in the process of learning about it, I thought it would be helpful to share a few links for those who are interested in finding out more about this latest means of leveraging the Internet.

Lawyer Denise Howell, a pioneer blogger, has written a post here that provides a link to Twitter 101 for Lawyers. In keeping with the latest developments on the Internet here is a link to Twitter song on YouTube. Here is an article with an increasing list of lawyers who use Twitter.

Kevin O'Keefe, guru for lawyers who blog, has written extensively about why lawyers should learn more about Twitter, (e.g., here), and now there is a "top 10" list of rules for those who use Twitter that Kevin recently posted about on Twitter (called a tweet). Kevin predicted correctly many years ago that blogs would be a mainstream "major player" in the legal profession, and so I give his opinion considerable weight when he says that Twitter is more than just a passing fad.
