I have posted over at Blog for Profit a post called how to use twitter as a lawyer — Part 1. And in that post I suggested my readers go visit the list of twitter using lawyers and legal professionals below. So, I thought I would just go ahead and provide the list here.

Using Twitter For Professional Purposes

August 7, 2008 By Jay Fleischman

I previously posted about Twitter, a terrific little micro-blogging platform that allows people to interact in real time with others. It’s addictive (and not in a Facebook time-suck sort of way) and useful for business development, marketing and general professional purposes.

Over at DuctTape Marketing, John Jantsch has created his Guide to Using Twitter. It’s a good read for those who have been thinking about Twitter and may not have already made the leap.Another terrific piece on Twitter was written by Grant Griffiths, and it’s called, “Twitter – the Rules of Engagement”.

What’s nice about John Jantsch’s guide is he addresses a very common statement, ‘it’s just another time-waster. How is it going to get me business?”

Twitter is a neat little tool. Now John can teach you how to use it.

If you use Twitter, follow me at http://twitter.com/JayFleischman. See you there.

What Is Twitter, And Why Do You Care?

May 13, 2008 By Jay Fleischman

If you follow social media you know about Twitter – but many of my readers don’t follow social media and don’t really care to do so. Hence, this post.

Twitter is like e-mail, only more immediate and closed. It gives you a way to follow someone around and find out all the cool stuff they’re doing (and the mundane stuff as well). What are they finding out online, what new cases have they uncovered, what tips and tricks are in their toolboxes . . . it’s all there for you.

All you need to do sign up for a Twitter account (it’s free) and tell the system who you want to follow. From then on, every time that person sends a message it gets broadcast to you (as well as to all the other people following him or her).

I’m on Twitter, sending out updates that don’t make it onto this site. Tips, tools, and a few special offers that I run across on a daily basis as I sit in front of my keyboard. Just go to Twitter.com and sign up, then search for me (my username is JayFleischman) and follow me.

For a video that shows how easy it is, click below.

Lawyers and twitter

May 5, 2008 By Grant Griffiths

Law Firm Web Strategy had a very interesting post today called, Lawyer Marketing with Twitter? You really need to read this one.

I have been using twitter now for almost a month and I have to say, my blog traffic has increased and in turn, so has business. Don’t overlook the benefits of using a “micro-blogging” tool like twitter.
