I do not want to have a conversation with an entity that is hiding behind their brand name. I want to converse with a person. If you have a Twitter account for your law firm, make sure you identify, in the profile section, WHO is actually speaking on behalf of the firm. Although the buzz words transparency and authenticity are over used in regard to social media, they really do make sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576163129774298049.post-56665715804369094722011-01-18T19:00:51.284+00:002011-01-18T19:00:51.284+00:00A belated thanks for all of the comments above. T...A belated thanks for all of the comments above. This issue has now been widely debated on Twitter and various personal blogs, and there are different opinions held by many, all of which are of course valid in their own way. If nothing else, it's great that the Intendance research and Lawyer coverage got us Tweagles (or is it Twegals?) debating the issue to this degree.<br /><br />Jennie, I personally don't think that the lack of Twitter-savvyness is down to arrogance by the big firms. I think it's simpler than that - just naivety on the part of their biz dev folk.<br /><br />Julian - you asked me if I'd be interested to see Senior/Managing Partners of Big Firms Tweet. My answer is, not really, I'm more interested in hearing from sector specialists like Rob Bratby above, or having tailored Twitter accounts (like the new @TWMediaTech), I've never really found RSS a user-friendly experience in the same way that Twitter is, hence my request for sector specialist accounts.<br /><br />As for Tweeting in convoy, perhaps Jon's (@beej777) blogpost referred to by @brianinkster does prove @filemot's implied point at the end of her comment, that it is the smaller firms leading the way right now.<br /><br />Thanks again everyone.legalbrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885387966127219569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576163129774298049.post-48802797445977402852011-01-13T22:45:16.677+00:002011-01-13T22:45:16.677+00:00Those Law Firm marketing teams need to consider, a...Those Law Firm marketing teams need to consider, as Jon Bloor coined it, 'Tweeting in Convoy':-<br /><br />http://www.peninsulawyer.com/blog/2009/9/30/tweeting-in-convoy.html<br /><br />However, unless they manage to get at least some of their solicitors behaving like the 'destroyers' that Jon refers to (Your "engagement, community, interaction, conversation, debate and networking") they will not achieve much, if anything, from their Twitter prescence.Brian Inksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574662873089476153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576163129774298049.post-44487103405408149152011-01-12T22:27:10.764+00:002011-01-12T22:27:10.764+00:00My concern is that with everyone now having their ...My concern is that with everyone now having their tuppence worth over this report (I read it the day it came out but saw nothing in it that warranted a Tweet or blog post - sorry and thank you for taking the trouble to blog about it), the firms are by the law of unintended consequences getting attention that they probably didn't expect to get. Surely they can't be that naive? I am not interested in seeing A&O's news on Twitter. I will get it from their RSS or my Google Reader. What I want to see is commentary that is remarkable and client focused. I would be spending time looking at the Social Technographics ladder and working out for those clients, referrers or sneezers that are on Twitter what is going to float their boat and what sort of content is going to be most appealing. Twitter may be a waste of time (initially) because the content has no way of reaching the influencers. Hey it's a start but I sense that trying to use Twitter as a driver to earn attention (see www.webinknow.com) is going to be mighty difficult.<br />JulianJulianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278137888370112138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576163129774298049.post-20026074737850658942011-01-12T11:06:19.356+00:002011-01-12T11:06:19.356+00:00I agree about the need to look at smaller firms to...I agree about the need to look at smaller firms too but I'm just slightly sceptical about what it appears to be assumed these findings will show. Granted, its easier for lawyers in smaller firms to 'be themselves' or use twitter in a targeted way. This might explain why smaller firms appear more active and might mean they are traiblazers but how many of the literally thousands of such firms are on (say) twitter? As a proportion I think not many.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576163129774298049.post-91486517030062900562011-01-12T10:38:13.623+00:002011-01-12T10:38:13.623+00:00Excellent article Tim, kindly posted on LinkedIn b...Excellent article Tim, kindly posted on LinkedIn by Neil Rose (Legal Futures).<br /><br />It's about time the small and medium firms were part of such research as these are the ones making a difference online, multinationals should take note.<br /><br />Jennie makes a great point about smaller firms, and the 'arrogance' of the larger ones.<br /><br />Rob Illidge<br />Marketing Executive<br />Ralli<br />@RalliSolicitorsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576163129774298049.post-61981466022051400602011-01-12T10:07:42.232+00:002011-01-12T10:07:42.232+00:00It could be that the intended audience of the larg...It could be that the intended audience of the larger law firms for the desired big-ticket work simply isn't on Twitter or interested in it. On the other hand, if they're looking for entrepreneurs or individual investors, Twitter is the place to make their presence known. It seems to me that most law firms will be better off with specialist thought leader accounts that are attractive to the specific audiences or interests and work referrers that relate to their area of expertise. In short this report demonstrates that Charles Russell has got it right. Of course, that is not to praise their marketing department because I suspect Andrew of being a maverick.<br />From my experience of large law firm marketing departments, they could never have the independence to tweet with any character. Everything needs approval and approval results in loss of spontaneity necessary for Twitter. Leave them to organise the trips to rugby matches, flash parties and seminars.Filemothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735898485265104580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576163129774298049.post-70787857427488971252011-01-12T09:58:11.179+00:002011-01-12T09:58:11.179+00:00As an even more recent convert to twitter and blog...As an even more recent convert to twitter and blogging I agree completely.

I have over 3000 tweets and 1000+ followers to my name. One of my partners outdoes me significantly (but he's been on Twitter a long time!!)<br /><br />The arrogance of the larger firms is breathtaking to behold and this so called survey merely feeds that arrogance without any good reason. I hope that Catrin writes another article about this as many of us on Twitter urged her to do.jennie khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620223516649988053noreply@blogger.com
