The state of the AmLaw 200 Twittersphere
That'll be the next report we'll need to put together at LexBlog. That'll be in addition to our regular State of the AmLaw 200 Blogosphere.
I'm sure there are other large law firms who have jumped on Twitter, Australia's Deacons comes to mind, but Hinshaw & Culbertson, a national law firm with 475 lawyers in 25 offices has created their firm Twitter account today.
Hinshaw hasn't yet cranked up its Twitter feed, presumably to disseminate legal news and links to the firm's intellectual capital and press copy, but it has started following Twitter feeds of legal professionals who have good a following on Twitter. That's been done to get these influencers to follow them. And over time to spread Hinshaw's message via Twitter and other social media. Worked for me.
Clean up that fuzzy graphic 'H' logo guys. It's beneath Hinshaw's reputation and brand. ;)
Hey Kevin,
I guess great bloggers think alike. I recently wrote about the AmLaw 100 on Twitter. http://lawyerkm.wordpress.com/2008/08/16/is-the-amlaw-100-on-twitter-knowledge-management/
You'll see that I couldn't find many firms that have a real Twitter presence. Looking forward to hearing about the next 100.
Hey Kevin thanks for the mention. And thanks for calling out the fuzzy H. That's fixed.
A clean 'H' is good. ;)
And you're welcome for the mention. Law firms use of the communication tools being used already by the Fortune 200 companies should be a no brainer - but then there are Managing Partners, Executive Comittees and CMO's. So anytime a good firm puts its foot into the water, they deserve a shout out for being innovative.
