Larry Bodine has a good article on his blog entitled "Social Networking: Crowded But Silent." He wrote it for the April 2008 edition of Law Technology News.
The article begins:
What if you gave a party, hundreds of people showed up, but almost nobody talked to each other? That describes the state of social networking for lawyers on sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace and the new Plaxo Pulse. The masses get the idea, but only the evangelists are using it.
Give it a read if you're interested in how people use (or don't use) social networking tools.
119,000 LinkedIn profiles from those in the practice of law seems to belie discussion that no lawyers are using social networking sites.
