The world of social media has changed drastically in the past couple of years. No longer is it just a place to share cat videos and complain about your life. We now live in constant dread over what our president is going to rant about on Twitter. Controversial comments that once were passed from mouth […]

Gather around, children, because I have a story to tell. Once upon a time, there was a social media giant named Facebook. It was a great place where you can connect or reconnect with your friends and family. It gave you a chance to post your frustrations and your triumphs in a public forum. It […]

In light of all of the news surrounding Facebook and data privacy, law firms and legal marketers who advertise their services on Facebook are wondering if their information is safe. Last week, Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, testified before Congress in regards to the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal, in which more than 87 million Facebook […]

I think it’s safe to say that the argument about whether a law firm needs social media or not is over. If you’re a lawyer and you think you don’t need it, you might be crazy. Scratch that. You are crazy. Social media is one of the keys to online communication. Whether it’s between friends, […]

Get ready, world. Facebook isn’t going anywhere. It’s about to be even more of a role in our everyday humanity. The social media conglomerate is going to eat the real world. Literally. It’s going to be our life; our whole life. Facebook’s master plan (insert maniacal, evil laughter) includes virtual and augmented reality, more live […]

As most of the social media world has heard by now, Twitter has decided to test out tweets that are 280 characters, doubling from its original 140 characters. Its goal was to eliminate the restraints that kept people from tweeting more frequently. While this isn’t a mainstay for most users, Twitter is rotating through a […]

Politics is just about a part of every platform nowadays. I mean every platform. It has even found its way into sports, which I thought was darn near impossible to do.
