I wouldn’t be willing to give up my privacy and broadcast my personal life just to “network”… not to mention how much time it would take to keep up with everyone. No thanks!

I think LinkedIn can be helpful, as well as Facebook to some extent, but for interaction and relationship building I truly think Twitter is the best choice. If you truly participate on Twitter it is fabulous! LinkedIn and even Facebook don’t invite discussion at the same level of involvement at all.

I am glad to hear that lawyers are still getting benefits from social networking – though many of my colleagues aren’t listening. Anyway, if any of your readers are interested in more information on social networking for lawyers, they can download my ebook here – http://tinyurl.com/6qb3cg – I have an overview of the sites, plus some how-tos and tools for writing powerful profiles.

A vote for Facebook along with RP. The problem with LinkedIn is that it’s a network site for networking. I have all sorts of reasons to visit Facebook, but I only drop in on LinkedIn when someone adds me. LinkedIn is, frankly, boring, and I suspect that lawyers (and others) are likely to get more business from Facebook.

I get a lot of business through facebook. I mean, when you have everyone you’ve ever known in now relatively close contact, you’re often the only lawyer they know, they pop a quick question, you give them kind of what they’re looking at in a nutshell, and they hire you.
