After some initial reservation, I finally decided to join Twitter, in part because so many LinkedIn Commercial and Industry Arbitration and Mediation Group members are on Twitter. Since joining, I have met new people, and have come across a treasure trove of useful information on a variety of topics, including ADR.
I “tweet” mostly on reinsurance- and arbitration-related matters, but I also enjoy conversing with others on a variety of other legal and non-legal topics. I also find that Twitter allows me to keep interested readers posted on case law developments that we may not cover here at the Forum. I usually summarize the case in 115 characters or less and include a link. That it is considerably easier to do than writing a full-blown blog post on the case, complete with a critical analysis! These “micro-blog” reports are usually posted the day the case is decided. Finally, I “re-tweet” tweets I believe others may find useful and use an RSS service that automatically announces new Forum blog posts shortly after they are posted to the web.
If you are an ADR, insurance or reinsurance professional or industry person, chances are I will follow you when I find you (or you find me). I also follow people that offer interesting tweets and links to information on a fairly wide range of legal and non-legal subjects, including healthcare reform and plain old good humor.
If you wish to follow me, my Twitter handle is @PhilLoreeJr (here). And while I have yet to update my Twitter profile background to match that of the Forum and the Loree & Loree website, I plan to do that soon….
