And because of their ability to handle more characters than twitter, their ability to be more easily moderated than forums and to be more easy to manage and learn for multiple users than blogs... and because email isn't that hard.... listservs are around to stay. The same as landline phones throughout the world. I do wish the fax would die, though. Hate that thing.

]]> Comment on Downturn in the legal market: temporary blip or end of an era? by Neil Denny http://jimmilles.com/2009/05/21/downturn-in-the-legal-market-temporary-blip-or-end-of-an-era/#comment-11274 Neil Denny Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:15:15 +0000 http://bwtr.wordpress.com/?p=414#comment-11274 I believe the supposition that things will revert to where they were is little more than self-deception. The very real challenges being presented by the availabilty of much of the information that used to represent the advice sold by lawyers is going to have a massive impact. The clients will be expecting new ways of working together with the legal professional and the other resources and providers that they now have available to them. There will be opportunities for those who would be lawyers to innovate and operate within the emerging service provision sectors, but the straight, out and out lawyer will be fewer in number. Quite how the legal education system deals with that I am not sure. I believe the supposition that things will revert to where they were is little more than self-deception.

One more word on the subject: more than a passing fad, social media, and this is especially true of twitter, is doing something wholly new with communication. I can't tell you exactly what that is, let alone what it will become, but I can tell you it is far less random and far more informative, let alone narcisstic, than it appears at first glance.

I have to be honest though, we tend to attract our own (argh!!) That said, I might recommend the English Companion ning as a great community to check out. Jim Burke invited English teacherly types to join sometime around December, and it is a thriving community with quite a bit of diversity....take a peek? http://www.englishcompanion.ning.com Don't know if this is what you were looking for....good luck!
