Pinterest is reported to have an audience of 75% women. It’s an amazingly popular tool…but I know you’re not a red tee guy at Pelican Bay or wherever you are a member….I’d like to catch up with you, lots to talk to you about…..

Again, I’m no expert by any stretch in the social media space (I like to think of myself as a perpetual student who might be a couple grades ahead of some, but far behind others!) but I’ve also learned to stake out territory early on and develop as appropriate. I believe others should, too. Just do so thoughtfully and learn from your other ventures into social media. There is enough historical info on how to do things correctly and effectively that it should make it easier for lawyers to do this correctly, too, without being spammy or wasting the platform by not seeing what makes it unique.

Rocket Matter has a few boards ranging from office pets to mobile apps. It all started with our ABA Techshow board which facilitated a few cool interactions and relationship building opportunities. It’s also resulted in referral traffic back to our Legal Productivity blog. We’re at http://pinterest.com/rocketmatter/. Just followed your boards
