I laughed out loud this morning while reading “You Can’t Make Lawyers into Techies: 3 Lessons About LPM” from Pam Woldow, General Counsel at Edge International. She quotes the adage, “never try to teach a rhino to dance. The results are generally unsatisfactory and it annoys the rhino.”

Can Facebook Really Bring About A More Peer-to-Peer, Bottom-Up World?

Mark Zuckerberg’s letter to shareholders included in Facebook’s IPO filing contains a pretty bold vision for Facebook to not just connect people and enable them to share, but to fundamentally restructure the way that the world works:

By helping people form these connections, we hope to rewire the way people spread and consume information. We think the world’s information infrastructure should resemble the social graph — a network built from the bottom up or peer-to-peer, rather than the monolithic, [...]

Managing Information in Litigation: How to Avoid Spending a Fortune

The costs of preserving, searching and reviewing information in litigation can be staggering. What costs a dollar to store on a hard drive can easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to search and review for a lawsuit. Ignoring or destroying salient information prior to or during a lawsuit can lead to losing a case regardless of the merits of the actual claim and spending a small fortune litigating the issue of whether you have met your [...]

Facebook’s mission is to “make the world more open and connected,” it says right at the top of the S-1 document filed late yesterday with the SEC.

If Google’s going to keep tying all their services together, you may as well know how that will work, and how you can benefit from it.

In just over a month, Google will change its privacy policies for all its products. Actually, Google is combining 70 different policies into a single set of rules, defining how the company treats all the personal information you provide. It’s more of a refinement than a brash new move, but it has opened [...]
