iciclethief – As to who would follow? Many of the firms listed above, which have Twitter accounts, have dozens of followers.

As to why? Because firms tend to put out good, thoughtful articles about topics that are of interest to people in the legal profession. If these firms are doing what most firms do on Twitter (simply list headlines and links back to those articles on their websites) then Twitter is a great place for people to either search for, or happen upon, those interesting articles.

As to why firms would want to Tweet? It’s marketing – another way to get their content out to the world. And does it work? Look at this Twitter search and see a whole page of people who have re-tweeted or otherwise referenced Fulbright & Jaworski’s material http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%40fulbright

I tend to agree with Doug. I would park the name, maybe post press releases, but that’s probably it. I would encourage lawyers, partners & psls to participate though as it’s a great way to connect with people and build your personal brand.

Some of twitter’s great attributes are the lack of established rules about how one should use it and how it effortlessly evolves from one thing to another. One day you’re talking about the cute thing your cat did next day you find a community of like-minded individuals sharing ideas and pointing you towards things you wouldn’t otherwise find (or have time to find). I can’t see the should or shouldn’t of anything on twitter, except abuse as described in the guidelines. Plus, you can choose to follow a person, or a law firm, or not.
