One year ago we hit “Publish” on our first post here on WestBlog.net.
Today as we mark this blog’s “birthday”, 189 posts later, we’ve assembled what we hope is an informative collection of insights on the trends in legal technology, the practice of law, and the work within the legal businesses of Thomson Reuters.
One of the main highlights of WestBlog’s first year, for us, is when we took our show on the road.
We debuted WestBlog at LegalTech New York 2008, and we’ll be at the 2009 show throughout the next few days. Trade shows and conferences give us a great chance to meet attendees and presenters at those events and, in turn, put some highlights from those conversations on WestBlog through text, video, audio and photos.
WestBlog also provides a great way for us to showcase the content we focus on in our Westcast podcasts, and the video clips we produce for our YouTube channel.
So, as we mark one year of getting our “blog legs” underneath us. We want to thank you for reading WestBlog and commenting on our posts. And, thanks for subscribing to our updates, either by RSS or e-mail.
We welcome your suggestions for what you want us to focus on as we continue to use this blog to provide a compelling platform for news and information about the legal industry and the businesses within Thomson Reuters.
And, watch this space in the coming months for news about where we’re taking WestBlog next.
