At least that’s what David Lat of Above the Law thinks, after seeing this video by Torys LLP on Law is Cool featuring Adam Banack and Adrienne DiPaolo:

Despite producing a social media release for these videos, the Law is Cool entry ranks much higher, and is  even above the fold on Google.

Related posts included Jurafide, a new social network for lawyers seeking American clients, and the advantages that these sites offer law firms.

But everything about social media sites are not positive, and another recent post addressed recently filed patents that would follow and rank social media users.  Abuse of facial recognition technology is also an emerging concern.

Omar Ha-Redeye was interviewed by CBC television, who attended the event.  He described his formal education in online communication through Centennial College, and some of his reasons for founding Law is Cool and joining Slaw.  He told viewers how they could easily create their own blogs for free on sites like Blogger, Live Journal, and Word Press.

He also defined some basic online technology terms like blog, Google, Twitter, Wikipedia, and Flickr.  The footage will be used on The National and Susan Ormiston Online in the Blog Buzz segment to help the general public understand these ideas and sites as they come up during the election.
