Everything I know about social media I learned from PR professionals in my brief career in that field prior to law.
Neville Hobson [1] (a social media guru in the U.K. who hosts one of my first podcast subscriptions, For Immediate Release [2]) launched [3] an RSS feed [4] yesterday that combined over 60 of the best PR blogs around the world.
He based the selection on a PR Network [5] previously created [6] by David Jones [7], a local PR guru [8] based in Toronto (he also hosts one of my other first podcasts, InsidePR [9]).
I thought it was a great idea, so I decided to do the same for law blogs. I started by cloning his RSS from Yahoo Pipes [10], and it seemed simple enough. I wasn’t presumptuous enough to decide for myself who the best blogs were, so I began adding from Steve Matthew [11]‘s Canadian Law Blog Awards [12] (CLawBies).
I didn’t get very far though.
I made it to Garry Wise [13]‘s blog and noticed a recent entry, Launching Wise Law Reader [14]. Yes, Garry beat me to it.
The Wise Law Reader [15] doesn’t use Pipes, but seems to accomplish the same goal. I can’t seem to find an RSS feed there yet, but I suspect it’s only a matter of time before he gets that up.
The best part about the Wise Law Reader is the top profile video [16] prominently featured on it’s launch date, starring one really familiar law student.
