The University of Buffalo Law Library picked up on a post on Law is Cool about the use of social media, specifically LinkedIn, and how lawyers are monetizing off it.

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.
