			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the ABA Annual Meeting in San Francisco earlier this month, WestlawNext sponsored a free CLE seminar called “Legal Issues from the Social Media Explosion,” which explored legal issues associated with Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and other social media forms.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.westlawinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/heather-armstrong.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5297" title="Heather Armstrong" src="http://www.westlawinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/heather-armstrong.png" alt="Heather Armstrong" width="200" height="133" /></a>The audience got an entertaining view of the client’s perspective from one of the world’s most famous professional bloggers, Heather Armstrong (<a href="http://www.dooce.com/">dooce.com</a>), who was famously fired (or “dooced”) after anonymously blogging about her boss.</strong></p>
<p>“I felt like I had ended my life,” Armstrong told the 270 people in attendance. “I was valedictorian at my school, I graduated with honors from college, and here I was getting fired for doing something really, really dumb.” Her advice to bloggers now? “Be ye not so stupid.”</p>
<p>The session inspired a number of insightful blog posts and articles. Here are a few that caught our eye:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/slander_or_satire_when_does_social_media_cross_legal_lines/">Slander      or Satire? When Does Social Media Cross Legal Lines?</a> <em>(ABA Journal)</em></li>
<li><a href="http://www.abanow.org/2010/08/growing-social-media-use-among-employees-necessitates-employer-response/">Growing      Social Media Use Among Employees Necessitates Employer Response</a> <em>(ABA Now)</em></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ctemploymentlawblog.com/tags/heather-armstrong/">Another      Example of Why Your Company Now Needs a Social Media Policy</a> <em>(Connecticut Employment Law Blog)</em></li>
</ul>
<p>Attendees also got some expert legal perspective from <a href="http://www.abramsandschmidt.com/About_Us.html">Marylee Abrams</a> and <a href="http://www.kunklelaw.com/index.html">Kenneth Kunkle</a>, two attorneys who deal with social media in the workplace. Abrams talked about the need for employers to develop social media policies, and Kunkle discussed copyright and trademark concerns stemming from the explosion in social media use.</p>
<p>Oh, and here’s a scary thought: While there are thousands of potential Heather Armstrongs out there, an ABA survey concluded that only about 30 percent of American workplaces have social media policies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.westlawinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/flamingo.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-1228" title="Flamingo" src="http://www.westlawinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/flamingo.png" alt="Flamingo" width="218" height="317" align="left" /></a>There’s an old Chinese proverb* that says, “Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come.” Well, OK – but what would you keep in your coat to attract a flamingo?</p>
<p>Perhaps Jenny Westlaw knows the secret. At any rate, <strong>Holly R.</strong>, a library manager at a law firm in San Francisco, clearly knows her tall pink birds, like the one that tried to pick Jenny’s pocket at Busch Gardens in Tampa. By correctly answering our What&#8217;s Next Trivia question, Holly became the third winner of a $30 Starbucks gift card. Congratulations, Holly!</p>
<p>You may have seen Holly before, although you might not recognize her. She appeared in our San Francisco preview breakfast video as an audience member – and she’s also appeared in studio audiences for <strong>The Rosie O’Donnell Show</strong> and a recent episode of<strong> The Oprah Winfrey Show</strong>.</p>
<p>Holly’s on-camera career may not be over yet. “I’m trying to get tickets now to <strong>The Ellen DeGeneres Show</strong>,” she says. “Maybe if Ellen knew I was a professional audience member, she would send me tickets to go!” Ellen – are you listening?</p>
<p><strong>There’s still time to play</strong> the next round of What’s Next Trivia with Johnny &amp; Jenny Westlaw for a chance at $30 in Starbucks gift cards. Here’s what to do:</p>
<ul>
<li>Watch  the Johnny &amp; Jenny videos from the fourth      week of the tour in <a href="../2010/03/westlawnext-roadtrip-houston/">Houston</a>,      <a href="../2010/03/westlawnext-roadtrip-denver/">Denver</a> and <a href="../2010/03/westlawnext-roadtrip-dallas/">Dallas</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Watch any of this week’s      videos (from <a href="../2010/03/westlawnext-roadtrip-boston/">Boston</a>,      <a href="../2010/03/westlawnext-roadshow-chicago/">Chicago</a> and Minneapolis) and wait for the trivia question to pop up at the end (or      click on the PARTICIPATE tab to skip ahead).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Answer a single trivia      question about one of the videos. Then type in your name and email address      (so we can contact you if you win) and click Submit. That’s it!</li>
</ul>
<p>One winner will be chosen at random from the entries we receive, so keep following along! (For more information, see the <a href="http://www.learnwestlaw.com/starbucks-gift-card-offer-rules/">official rules</a>.)</p>
<p><em>*The Chinese proverb came from <a href="http://west.thomson.com/store/ad.aspx?promcode=622502F77466&amp;promtype=external">Uncle Anthony’s Unabridged Analogies: Quotes &amp; Proverbs for Lawyers and Lecturers</a>, which is available at a 10% discount to Westlaw Insider readers like you!</em></p>
