Steven Matthews already mentioned last month Kevin O'Keefe's new law blog aggregator, LexMonitor.

I was checking out my profile this week and noticed that they already added Slaw. As a new contributor here, I was really impressed with the timeliness in which they did this.

Kudos.

Of course a little link love thrown his way earlier in the month probably didn't hurt either.

One Comment on “The Wonder That Is LexMonitor”

  1. Kevin OKeefe says:

    Thanks for the mention of LexMonitor Omar. It's still very much a work in progress and if LexMonitor had to be described as in beta version etc, we'd probably be pre-beta.

    Though not ready for primetime, we needed to get LexMonitor out to the public to see its flaws and get the feedback we need. As it comes alive, you'll see it become less of an aggregator and more of a light being cast on the good legal content being produced.

    Ultimately you'll see community and collaboration tools allowing for discussion so as to advance the law.

    Thanks again and keep up the good work.
