Twitter Influence on In-House Counsel Growing
October 14, 2010 at 10:18 pm 5 comments
Still doubting the power of Twitter when it comes to legal marketing? Maybe you should read the newly published survey of in-house lawyers. According to the findings, they are increasingly using blogs and social media to keep informed of legal and business developments. The issue is that while 76 of the top US 100 firms have a presence on Twitter, the survey found that nearly half have not tweeted once. Taking it a step further, in his blog, Randy Wilson wonders “how many of those accounts are simply a generic law firm Twitter account and not a real person?” However, we can save that discussion for another posting.
Back to the survey, it also found a significant minority of younger attorneys are using Twitter regularly. The survey said 26 percent of those aged 30-39 agree that a law firm’s prominence on Twitter will influence their decision. As older attorneys retire, it’s predicted that Twitter’s influence could increase substantially in the coming years
Don’t believe the survey? Fair enough. Then be sure to check out Neil Rose’s article in The Guardian. He asked fellow legal tweeters about the survey and got some strong testimonials to back it up.

Thanks Chuck for the link – Here’s a question I’ve been wondering about – when your Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook content all interconnects, will we really care whether its Twitter or Facebook that generated the lead? Won’t it just be a matter of making sure you know how to keep on top of this quick changing medium? I think we will all have to stay tuned…..

Randy, I agree that eventually they will all interconnect. It will be important to monitor for future changes and stay on top of it.
