I know some very good <a href="http://www.local.com/results/boston-ma/lawyers.aspx" rel=follow>Boston lawyers</a> that would trust with my life lol. Freemium model sounds really interesting, I'm considering giving it a go thanks. I think it’s a really good idea to improve communications between entrepreneur’s and lawyers.

And it is so easy to do, so many platform choices. You just spoke my mind. Fred Wilson has one of the very best solo blogs out there, period, tech or non tech.

I recently founded a new and different kind of law firm representing startups, <B>Bottom Line Law Group</B> (<a href="http://bll.la)," rel="nofollow">http://bll.la),</a> based in SF and LA. New <I>firm</I>, but not new <I>lawyer</I>; I worked at WSGR and a NY firm before going in-house to a succession of tech and media companies, culminating in the General Counsel role at eHarmony for the past few years. In addition to legal knowledge, I can offer the pragmatic business orientation that comes from serving as a member of the senior management team at a Web 2.0 company -- and having paid millions of dollars of outside counsel bills. My new blog, <B><I>Mashtag</I></B> (<a href="http://masht.ag)," rel="nofollow">http://masht.ag),</a> is aimed at an audience of non-lawyers and addresses a range of issues, although I certainly intend to cover some of the more interesting legal material. There will be a consumer Web/social media slant, drawing on my experience at Excite@Home, MySpace/FIM and eHarmony, but much of it should hopefully be of interest to the broader entrepreneur and investor community. I hope you like it.

No offense to the attorneys that blog about the world at large, but I don't think that there are any attorneys out there that write interesting enough material on a regular basis for me to have it as a must read in my RSS reader. My blog is not intended to be a blog per se. It's intended to be single-author wikipeida on startup stuff. I figure that anyone who is that interested in me as a person can simply follow me on twitter and read sarcastic tweets and see pictures of what I've eaten. I see twitter as an easier way to show personality, versus the amount of time it takes to write full-fledged blog posts. I get your point.
