It’s been six months since I’ve done a Twitter roundup. I was reminded that I had not done one by a friend who said he misses them.
I definitely blog less since I started Tweeting 18 months ago. Articles I read or ideas I have that, in the past, might have led to a blog post now end up as a Tweet. Also, before I started Tweeting, I used Roundup posts to cover several short items, none of which seemed worthy of a stand-alone blog post. Tweeter has also assumed that function.
While I welcome additional followers @ronfriedmann, I don’t expect all blog readers to get into Twitter. So I reproduce here highlights of recent Twitter posts (in this instance, over the last six weeks). I try to make my Tweets interesting; when I cite an article or another Tweet, I try to add a “NanOpEd”, which is short for nano opinion editorial, that is, a very short comment. It’s been a fun challenge to add a thought having only 20 to 80 characters!
Are any law firm Tweets interesting? I follow a few – all boring. Is that b/c I don’t practice? Or
explanation? Would a futures market for future success of BigLaw help us understand current market direction?
BigLaw move to budgets, AFA, + greater transparency may foster explicit price competition? What of value and outcomes?
