Thanks for Sharing!

My friend, Heather Milligan, posts at the Legal Water Coooler today an incredible collection of bookmarks, blogs and links to tools and experts that should help direct law firms in need of resources.

She names her collaborators for the lists, so I won’t re-state those, but I am grateful for the collective work that went into the post. In fact, I believe it is a perfect example of one of online social media’s key attributes: investing one’s knowledge in the improvement of knowledge for the benefit of everyone.

None of us will have to go to a seminar to collect this list among the handouts, though, God knows, there are plenty of them around. (Jayne Navarre tweeted today her own frustration at the volume of these notices through her Inbox @jaynenavarre.) We won’t have to do the research ourselves over two or three hours that wouldn’t fit comfortably in a busy, busy month. We won’t have to wait for the article in our professional journal.

No, one of our connections (even if you don’t have the delightful pleasure of knowing Heather personally, her blog’s ubiquitous and well-respected) has done the work and solicited the contributions of knowledge from other experts, and it’s now out here on the Web so we can all reap the benefits.

Thanks for sharing!
