LinkedIn Legal Blogging Group discussions back and kicking

The Legal Blogging Group on LinkedIn has grown to over 3,400 professionals. The group is for legal professionals and others interested in the use of blogging, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and other social media by lawyers and other professionals.

With that growth, we’ve seen a number of people take advantage of the group’s discussion board by posting messages unrelated to blogging and social media or posting spam touting their services. Discussion should be limited to questions and commentary related to blogging and other forms of social media.

I spent the last couple hours deleting irrelevant postings and spam. I gave deference to some unrelated posts which had already drawn a number of comments. If I deleted one of your posts, I’m sorry. I just wanted to get us started with a cleaner slate and make the group more attractive to folks with an interest in legal blogging and social media.

Going forward I’ll monitor the posts more closely and delete items that are beyond the group’s focus. I’ll also try to answer your questions and invite others to do the same. When I can, I’ll post items being discussed here on my blog and in Twitter. That way we attract more users and generate more discussion.

In addition to the discussion, you may submit a relevant news article to the group with an accompanying link. This can include news items or blog posts.

Posting of items to the discussion board and news articles you submit, in addition to being posted at the group’s site in LinkedIn, will be distributed by email to group members who have opted for that feature.
