As usual, Monday means a big day on the LexBlog Network. Today’s posts count hits 141. A highlight: from the area itself, Steve Lombardi chimes in on the Iowa flooding and the response by insurance companies. In two words: not good.

Whenever I conduct blog review calls with attorneys, a time when we give some editorial feedback on content, there are a few points I always stress. One of those main points: tell the readers something they don’t know. Every single one of our attorneys is an expert on the subject they cover and that should come across in their posts. Don’t tell the reader you’re an expert, show them. In the best example of demonstrating that unique expertise I saw today, Mike Danko has some insightful comments on the tragic plane crash that killed Senator Ted Stevens and three others. Total posts on the LexBlog Network today: 121.

It’s seems like almost everyday a new legal issue associated with social media arises. Sometimes it’s a poor attempt at riling people up while other times there’s some legitimacy to the claims. Today, Robin Hensley examines an issue the legal profession may be forced to examine in the near future: whether or not a law firm can lay claim to an attorney’s LinkedIn connections when they leave the firm. Total posts on the LexBlog Network today: 122.

In one of the 132 posts on the LexBlog Network today, Dan Schwartz describes ‘Facebook Fatigue’ and how social media has completely taken over the workplace. I’ll admit, there isn’t a better phrase than ‘Facebook Fatigue’ to describe my feelings as the trailer for The Social Network came up prior to viewing Inception. It’s getting to be a little much.

Ambush marketing has always fascinated me. Ambush marketing is a practice where marketers latch onto a popular brand without actually paying to do so. For example, Nike ran an extensive soccer campaign recently in conjunction with the World Cup. They are not, however, a sponsor of the World Cup. Some companies, like Nike, abide by the rules and do it right. Some companies do not. Today, Steve Baird has an example. Total posts on the LexBlog Network today: 129.
