LegalVoices.com Twitter

I created legalvoices.com for a couple reasons. For the non-users out there, it gives a brief insight into how the service works - a preview. It also has a what’s hot in the legal industry feel to it. http://legalvoices.com/  Could be a novelty, could be insightful… who knows? but definitely worth 5 hours of my time. And for the Twitter converts, it offers a filtered view of the most current commentary from those of us with a legal slant. The other aspect I considered, is that almost no one creates a follow list dictated by industry vertical. So it’s likely a perspective most twitter users would seldom replicate. Finally, a big warning that the site is in “pre-alpha”. :) It may take a couple browser refreshes to see the conversation stream change. Unfortunately, with new follower email notices flying out via twitter, there really wasn’t a way to create this under wraps. So heed the warning, or blame twitter. LLN/ eu say..”we had a look at this 10 May and as yet nothing very interesting appears to have been posted. In our opinion you’d be better served visiting Law.Librarians twitter at http://lawlibrarians.wordpress.com/
