The Blog, The Press, The Media: What Weblogs Can Do For You
For purposes of argument, let's say you're an ERISA lawyer who's a leader in your field. And you're pretty good with computers. If there's some specific bit of information out there somewhere, and you need it now, you can usually find it using Google.
You think of these bits of information as tiny nuggets of unprocessed legal ore. To anyone else, they're just rocks. But as an experienced ERISA lawyer, you have the know-how to polish these nuggets into wonderful shiny gems, perhaps even displaying them in the newsletter you send each month to your clients.
Sounds good, but that's the old model. Make way for a new one.
Imagine a website focusing specifically on your narrow field of law. The website isn't updated once a year or even once a month, but once or twice a day. No longer are the nuggets of information pertinent to your practice scattered around and hidden everywhere. Instead, they're all stored under a single roof. The website's author acts as miner, polisher, and museum curator, all at once.
