Spring Update
Friday, March 28th, 2008Hi lawyrs!
It’s been a while since we last checked in. Like almost everyone we know, we’ve been very busy this winter. Here’s what we’ve been up to:
First off, the Law Firm Directory. Lawyrs can now update information about the law firms and offices they work at through the “update your profile” option. Some lawyrs have already expanded their firm’s profile, not to mention sending along some great ideas about how to improve the directory.
Secondly, due to some convincing requests from our users, we’ve started to build a “Jobs & Careers” section where lawyrs can browse and post job offers and legal career information. We expect this to be a particularly popular and useful tool, so we’d love to hear back from you about what you’d like to see here.
All in all, we’re still finishing up a few more features, after which we’ll make our “official” launch of the site. I know what you’re thinking: we’ve been saying that since winter began. Thing is, we’ve come to view some of the user suggestions as things the website cannot do without. Each of these new features takes time to build. We can tell you that we’re getting close to “going public”!!
For now, lawyers can still only become lawyrs by invitation, but we’d be delighted if you would use the “Invite a Friend” tool to spread the word about lawyrs.net. Building a strong and active online community of lawyrs is the key to turning this into the kind of social networking site that the legal community truly deserves!
That’s it for now. Thanks for your support. Take care until next time, and enjoy the early Spring!
