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.

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.
