Randall Ryder — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:00:23 +0000

One of the difficulties about social media is separating professional marketing from your personal life updates. There is a big difference between showcasing your personality through social media marketing, and posting updates about your dog farting (talk about immature). Some bleed-through is ok, but not to that extent. Create separate friend lists Being the ignoramus [...]

Facebook Posts As Evidence?

Randall Ryder — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 19:00:28 +0000

Social media sites like Facebook are great for marketing, and they are also a prime source for evidence. Although the former is generally distinct from the latter, it is yet another reminder that posting personal information online can have more far-reaching implications than a person originally intends. Should you change your online marketing? Facebook can [...]

Cloud computing is easy to use and can instantly create a mobile law office. The privacy of emails and other online documents, however, is becoming more and more of an issue. A surprising coalition of companies recently banded together to lobby the government for changes to online security laws. Outdated law makes it easy to [...]

Is E-mail Secure?

Sam Glover — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 11:00:06 +0000

Randall Ryder — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 19:00:50 +0000

Many firms are switching to cloud-based data storage, including the one I work for. While loss of data is a valid concern, security of data and client files is another one.

Facebook Friending Around the Office

Randall Ryder — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:00:29 +0000

I an firm believer in the power of social media as a marketing tool, and I think law firms should not take the drastic step of banning their employees from using Facebook. I also think lawyers need to be especially careful about their privacy settings to make sure their pages and photos are not publicly [...]
