It is great to be part of your LinkedIn network, and the unique nature of LinkedIn helps lawyers find new uses all the time. Lawyer marketing is available, and the nature of social media changes available marketing strategies. LinkedIn offers a relationship-based aspect, which makes it very different than print media, pay per click, blogger content or even phone directory advertising. To just ad one more use to the list, lawyers can now join lawyer networking groups, started by lawyers and arranged by both practice area and geographic jurisdiction - http://MyLinkLaw.com In this way LinkedIn allows for both small-group lawyer networking and greater exposure for new relationship building and legal business development. Thanks for a great post Attorney Flusche.

I really like your point that it should not be seen as your one-stop networking solution. Rather, it should fit into your overall plan. That is so crucial with almost everything in life. Moderation in all things, right? I checked out Jibber Jobber today. It looks like an interesting networking tool as well. It solves one of my complaints with LinkedIn: tracking contacts who aren't LinkedIn members. Many of the people in my network aren't LinkedIn members, and some aren't close enough for me to invite to join my network. However, I want to keep track of them and our overall relationship. I might have to fiddle a bit with Jibber Jobber and see if it solves this need. Once again, we've got to look at the overall strategy. Thanks for stopping by to comment, and I would love hearing your thoughts about Jibber Jobber's ability to fill the above need I mentioned. Take care, Andrew Jason,

There are other professional networking sites, I imagine there will be at least one for lawyers. But don't go into LinkedIn thinking you are going to have an insta-network, otherwise you'll be depressed pretty soon. Also, there is ettiquite as far as how and who to invite, how to get introduced, etc. Lots of professionals use it, including recruiters to find prospects... so it isn't a bad idea to have an account. I'd recommend understanding where it fits in your overall strategy though, it is not the silver bullet.

I can definitely see the potential, but I'll just have to give it a go and find out. I figure I don't have anything to lose, but a few spare minutes here and there. I'm glad that it's working out for you. Andrew Manny,
