Impressively, all but one of the respondents to our Social Media 101 Snap Poll currently use social media! We concede the point, though, that this number may be a bit skewed considering avid blog Legal Technology Observer readers are probably more social media conscious than the average bear. The one respondent that did not use social media yet replied “Don’t really understand it” when asked “what is the main reason you did not use social media?”
Yesterday’s LTO expert Kerry Boll provided some much-needed education and advice, but there are still many people in the legal industry who don’t understand social media platforms, or who are unnecessarily afraid of it.
Of the 5 social media platforms - Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube - Twitter won for being most commonly used with 78% of respondents marking it as their #1 choice. LinkedIn came in second with 17% and Facebook got the bronze with 6%.
Overall, 22% of those polled use social media, 6% for personal and a massive 72% use it for both personal and business reasons. Way to go LTO readers! Your social media awareness is way above average – keep tweeting, posting and blogging – we’re interested in what you have to say! Follow us @christyburkepr so we can follow you back!
