More eDiscovery Cowbell?
Being a fan of both “More Cowbell” and key “twitterers” and also being aware of the twitter phenomenon of “follow fridays”, I thought it appropriate and fun to begin sharing once a week on Friday a list of five “twitterers” who I believe “bring more cowbell” to those interested in news, views, and events surrounding the topic of electronic discovery. Bringing “More Cowbell” is a very good thing in my mind – and I hope you enjoy the writings and rants of those featured as a weekly “@ComplexD Cowbeller”.
Dialogue, Experts, and Social Media
The ILTA Annual Conference yearly provides attendees with an excellent forum for considering ideas and innovation centered around the legal profession.

The Emotions and Logic of Behavioral Influence

Social Media Risk?
Simple, high level depiction of eleven social media risks, the origination of the risks, and the potential costs associated with the risks. Based on Gartner Research by Andrew Walls on “How to Win Arguments About the Security of Social Software” (G00173953) published in February of 2010.
Leveraging Social Media?
In today’s “sound-bite” environment in which professional organizations compete for client attention through a variety of communications conduits, it is increasingly important to consider and evaluate the potentially powerful benefits of new social media tools.

Data Breaches, Social Media, and Symantec
Last week I had an excellent opportunity to learn from Symantec’s Director of Product Marketing – David Dorosin – about both Targeted Attacks on Intellectual Property and how Symantec is providing new tools to help address the challenges of these attacks. This conversation was of special interest to me as it provided an opportunity for me to see how leading security vendors are beginning to address the data breach challenges associated with unconventional unstructured data emanating from social media.
