Since 3 Geeks is the forum for trying new things, I am going to try a live blog posting, as Toby speaks at the Business Intelligence for Law Firms Conference in New York. It is rare that a Geek and a Geek Groupie are in the same place at the same time, so I
Almost There….
Back in August, some of you may remember I blogged about the power of news aggregators, asking the question, How Do We Make Them Read? Since that time, I have been watching new aggregators come on to the scene, new products being offered, new interfaces introduced, new pricing models worked out and all the

And so I am. From a competitive intelligence perspective, I hope legal directories never die, in print or online. But
Why I love Quora
