Microsoft demos RSS features in IE 7
Microsoft demoed RSS features in IE 7 at the Blog Business Summit in San Francisco this weekend.
PC Magazine's InfoWorld reports:
Whether the content streams are eventually called RSS, Web feeds, or some other name, a key design goal of the forthcoming Internet Explorer 7 is to let users easily subscribe to blogs and Web sites via RSS (Really Simple Syndication).
The new version of the browser will include support for RSS, a technology that alerts users to new content posted to blogs and Web sites. The goal is to make subscription activities more mainstream by allowing users to add an RSS feed as easily as creating a Web page bookmark.
To subscribe to an RSS feed in IE 7, a user simply clicks on a subscribe button in a toolbar that runs across the top of the browser. Users can then see a preview of the feed and add it to a list of favorites.
Those following the blogosphere discussion may be aware of the controversy created by Microsoft's possible change of the name of RSS feeds to Web feeds. From Infoworld:
One attendee expressed concern that Microsoft may be trying to coop the terms of syndication or syndication technology in general.
Microsoft defended its use of the term, without saying definitely whether the name will stick in the final release of IE 7.
Everyone who understands the term RSS is at the bleeding edge, said Robert Scoble, evangelist on the Windows team at Microsoft. 'The other 97 percent don't really understand the term.'
'The issue with Web feeds versus RSS is that the public doesn't know what RSS is or what Atom is,' Scoble said.
'When you go to different sites it is listed as RSS or sometimes XML or Atom. When you use the term feeds or Web feeds it is easier for people to understand,' Scoble said."
Sounds good what Scoble says but fear is that Microsoft may try to monopolize a technology they are just coming to now. It's been done before.

November 25, 2002 Roundup of Conference on Blogging Available on YLS Blog, LawMeme
The Information Society Project at Yale Law School held a conference on Friday, November 22, about blogging, the increasingly prevalent use of usually personal web pages to analyze current events and disseminate opinions (the word "blog" is a contraction of "web log"). And, naturally, the conference was thoroughly blogged.LawMeme, a blog about law, technology, and policy, also sponsored by the ISP, provided live coverage of the conference, and you can now read about it if you weren't able to attend the event.Some highlights:Mickey Kaus, the author of the blog Kausfiles, discussed blogging and its role in relation to traditional media. LawMeme paraphrases one of his opening points: "A whole lot of things that used to be thought essential for the practice of journalism turned out to be artifacts of print technology, and those things drop away with new technology."LawMeme also records some of the musings of Glenn Reynolds '85, the author of the blog Instapundit.com and a law professor at the University of Tennessee, in his keynote address. "Blogs are dynamic: conversations rather than lectures. You can just ask a question, or offer an observation, and then ask, "What do you think?" And you can then solicit opinions, and repost. This raises some questions about libel: given the dynamic nature of the blog, and the constant updates, Reynolds thinks that a correction on a blog should be given much more weight."The LawMeme coverage also includes links to a number of other bloggers who posted their interpretations of the conference.Call it "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blog."

Tom Re: How, if at all, will Blogging Affect the Practice of Law?
Posted by Tom Mighell
Is it too early to think about the virtual practice of law? In bringing together lawyers from across the country, blogs have made it possible for lawyers to communicate and collaborate with each other across physical boundaries; it will only be a matter of time before these folks begin to truly test the limits of "multijurisdictional practice."

Putting the Consumer

Putting the Consumer First - The Future of Legal Services
Posted by Dennis M. Kennedy
Between Layers
The UK Department for Constitutiional Affairs recently published a white paper ‘The Future of Legal Services: Putting the Consumer First’, setting out proposals for the regulatory reform of legal services in England and Wales. Download it here.
The recommendations date back to Sir David Clementi's efforts to:
* consider what regulatory framework would best promote competition, innovation and the public and consumer interest in an efficient, effective and independent legal sector.
* recommend a framework which will be independent in representing the public and consumer interest, comprehensive, accountable, consistent, flexible, transparent, and no more restrictive or burdensome than is clearly justified.
Your assignment: Compare and contrast these efforts in the UK to recent efforts in the US to implement increasingly onerous, state-based regulation.

The Greatest America

The Greatest American Lawyer
Lawyers, Take Charge of your Damned Life!
      There is a great quote that I thought really did apply to the situation that lawyers often find themselves in, the situation of being stuck. Everyone knows the drill when you are a new associate, law firms pay a lot of money and encourage associates to spend even more. Debt builds and before you know it, the associate can't go anywhere because they can't replace their income and meet their debt obligations. The same thing is true on up the associate scale right on through to partners. If you carry a lot of debt, your options are limited. Even if you do have a lot of debt I would advise you to live by the following motto: "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." --William Jennings Bryan
     As I think back on my decision to jump ship and embark on my high-risk course towards becoming a successful independent practitioner, I can only think about the truth of the words above. No one is ever really truly stuck. We make choices and we could always choose to change our lives. What holds people back is not the absence of choice, it is fear. Is it no wonder that the culture of traditional law firms incites fear and insecurity amongst its work force? Of course these law firms want you to look down upon independent/solo practitioners. Of course that law firm wants you to think that the prestige of their office is what the practice of law is all about. Of course that traditional law firm will spend considerable time pumping itself up and making itself feel good about itself. This sort of law firm bunker mentality work well before the age of the Internet. But, I wonder how well it will work now that blogs have taken hold and anyone who cares to look can see that there are lawyers like me who not only survived, but thrived.
        As I sat at my desk in my traditional firm just a year ago, I had little idea that there were other lawyers out there like me. As I started to explore the Internet and find blogs such as MyShingle, TheNonBillableHour and others, I realized that I was not alone. As I read about technology on the Dennis Kennedy blog and read the inspirational words of Ernie the Attorney, I became aware that I had been trapped inside a cave where darkness ruled the day and the night and ignorance was encouraged in order to keep people in line.
