RSS is a great way to stay on top of any blogs you read regularly (like Lawyerist!). Instead of remembering to visit every site, you can just check your feed reader, which collects all the updates in one place.
Fever, an RSS reader from developer Shaun Inman, is a smart alternative to traditional RSS readers, which can become a firehose of content as you add feeds.
Want to know what your state thinks about cloud computing? Thanks to Nicole Black’s post in the LAB, here is the ABA’s handy reference chart so you can see what your state’s ethics board thinks about cloud computing.
Currently, by the way, lawyers in all 50 states may use the cloud. Ethics boards in 13 states seem to have specifically considered the issue, and all say it’s fine to use the cloud as long as you use “reasonable care” in selecting services — as with pretty much everything else on the business end of law practice.
I don’t really know why lawyers are so freaked out about the cloud. Everyone seems to assume there must be some big ethics issues with using cloud software, even if the security of any reputable cloud-based software is light-years ahead of the security most solo and small firms are capable of.
Microsoft recently unveiled online, cloud-based versions of the Microsoft office components. If the computer you are using does not have those Microsoft Office, it no longer matters, because can now access versions of MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint from the web with Microsoft Office Live.
