Internet Roundtable #37: Are Blogs Right for Law Firm Marketing? Dennis Kennedy (DK):  Last month we explained blogs and how to get started, but there’s more. If that were all that’s going on with blogs, I’d be saying what’s the big deal? How are blogs any different from web sites? Aren’t email newsletters a better vehicle for content delivery? There is much more to blogging and this brings us to my favorite aspects of blogs and why I do think that they are changing the Internet: the world of newsfeeds, RSS feeds, XML feeds and news aggregators. We have two special guests who will help us understand blogging. [LLRX.com]

Blogs for Public Lawyers Lawyers have now gotten into the blogging game. There is even a name for legally-oriented blogs: “blawgs” Because so many web logs are of poor quality, their value as a tool for lawyers may not be obvious to everyone. However, there is more going on with blogs than is probably apparent to the casual observer. This article will explain four reasons why public lawyers should keep an eye on the blog phenomenon: legal and factual research, distribution of government information, improved knowledge management inside public legal offices, and their potential to fill in the gaps left by the typical web efforts of bureaucratic organizations.

nordi writes "heise.de reports (in German) that SCO Germany has to pay a fine of 10,000 Euros (~10,800 US$) because they kept on saying that Linux contains stolen intellectual property of SCO. In May a German court had decided that SCO Germany must not continue making those claims." Yes, it's auf Deutsch, so break out babelfish.

PHP growing surprisingly strongly on Windows. Although PHP is universally thought of as implying Linux, Apache and MySQL, nearly 7% of PHP sites [when counting by ip address] run on Windows. This has doubled over the last year, and on its current growth trajectory PHP will overtake Cold Fusion as the most popular non-Microsoft scripting language used on Windows during the next year. [Netcraft]

Of note.  This is possible because of the ongoing development of PHP that makes it work better on the Windows platform as well as its support for things like MSSQL and windows authentication.

The question of the day: Can I get the Word – to – Radio posting to work? And if that works, can I get Word – to – Geeklog? Looks like it worked to Radio, and thence to GL. Can I edit a post this way to?
