Why lawyers use Twitter
August 1, 2009
Staying in touch with friends, finding news, staying updated, work, and research. Six things I think we’d all agree are key to a lawyer’s practice development.
Those are the same reasons people use Twitter per a study on ‘Why People Use Twitter‘ from TNS and The Conference Board.
- 41.6% percent of Internet users who used Twitter did so to keep in touch with their friends.
- 25.8% to find news and stay updated.
- 21.7% for work purposes.
- 9.4% for research.
Lawyers should also note that Twitter users under age 35 were more interested in broadcasting their status while older users were more likely to use Twitter for work-related purposes.
The more we find out about Twitter and its use the more Twitter makes sense for legal professionals. Agree?
