As you have probably heard by now, JD Supra has released its Legal Updates LinkedIn App. It has been covered pretty extensively. I did, however, want to draw your attention to a post I wrote on Lawyerist about JD Supra, Legal Updates, and LinkedIn, that spurred some healthy discussion.
As you can see, the comments on that post got moderately heated with regard to whether JD Supra and LinkedIn are worth spending time using. If you have experience with these tools, positive or negative, I encourage you to head over to Lawyerist to share your thoughts.
In a nutshell, if you haven’t had success building relationships with JD Supra and/or LinkedIn, without knowing anything about how you’re using them, my guess is that you’re not participating like you would offline (or maybe you are and are not having much luck there either).
Just like “working a room” at a cocktail party, using social media tools to build relationships takes practice, work, and of course, a little charisma.
