Web 2.0 and Beyond...
The legal technology bloggers write often about "Web 2.0" and the various ways that it will transform everything, including the legal profession. I'm not even close to being on the cutting edge of this revolution--indeed, I really just started to appreciate the power of RSS in the past few months.

But let me blow your mind a bit by applying some Web 2.0 tools to the securities litigation world that are really quite cool . Here we go....

Let's say you are a loyal reader of the 10b-5 Daily, the PSLRA Nugget and Securities Litigation Watch. In the old days (2004 for some of you, this morning for others!) you'd have these sites bookmarked and you'd visit them when you felt like it. Sometimes there would be new content posted for you to read, but other times there would not be.

Then, however, you learned about RSS. You set up a free RSS feed reader such as Bloglines and entered the RSS feeds for these blogs into the "My Feeds" section. Your blog reading habits changed at this time because instead of going from blog to blog, you now simply went to Bloglines, saw which of your favorite blogs had new posts, and read those posts through Bloglines.

NOW... It gets even more interesting, and this is where some of the Web 2.0 concepts come in. A service like Supr Glu will permit you to create your own personal website that "glues" your favorite feeds together. A website is worth a thousand words in explaining this so just go to this Supr Glu link ("Securities Litigation World") that I created yesterday in about 5 minutes. Go ahead... Look. Ponder. Marvel... Now all of your favorite blogs are consolidated and updated in real-time in one place!

AND FINALLY ... Notice that the Supr Glu site that I created has its own RSS feed. So you can have a feed coming from the newly created "Securities Litigation World" that combines posts from all three of the blogs above and send it to your My Yahoo! page or wherever you want.

I know that I am only scratching the surface here. I would love to hear from anyone out there who can expound on any of this.
