With the increased use of Twitter, FaceBook, and other forms of social media, I have been wondering whether there is still value in having a blog and blogging. The reason I wonder is because I feel I am approaching blogging late when more immediate forms of communication ie Twitter are available. Blgging feels like 2006!
My progression is like this: LinkedIn --> FaceBook --> Twitter --> Blog. Having said all that, blogging is less formal and more immediate compared to a legal newsletter. I really don't know whether people read newsletters anymore. LinkedIn and FaceBook have specific purposes for specific audiences and I don't think that they really work as an effective means of desseminating legal information. Twitter is very timely but a legal disclaimer along consumes more than 140 characters!
So perhaps there is still a useful function for a blog in developing a theme that I may have Tweeted. So with this first post, I am launching further into the realm of social media. I am realistic about time constraints and plan to blog at a regular interval on topics which interest me. Most of the topics will be legally oriented but from time to time I may veer off topic into other areas of interest. When I do so, I hope you will find it interesting or amusing and if you don't, please forgive me.
And so it begins.
