Let me go slightly off-topic for just one post here for a public service announcement: You need to go register your law firm or company’s Twitter user name. Now.
Exactly one week ago I wrote a column at Securities Docket called, “Please Take 30 Seconds Now, Your Law Firm Will Thank You Later,” in which I recounted a discussion I’d recently had with the publisher of a major legal information service (that shall remain nameless). “You don’t realize it yet,” I told him, “but your publication will eventually be on Twitter. You need to take 30 seconds and register your company’s name on Twitter before someone takes it and makes your life complicated down the road” by trying to sell it back to you (or worse). He took my advice and quickly registered his company’s name.
