This is a thrill, and if I can live up even to my own expectations, the reward will be in the path.

I really believe it is; a lot of issues could be made into opportunities (rather than hurdles) if only someone were there, at the ready with a little legal guidance. With counsel even a little "in the loop", folks soon discover the net value is measurable.

Thank you for your kind words. And I believe the great challenge in my commanding officer's recommendation is to live up to it.

Re: Clio: More Terms of Service

Jack -
Fair enough. Thank you for clarifying; you're already showing that you are responsive and going a good direction. Hope to watch your success.

Follow up: To be sure, let's not lump all Saas-providers as bloated and unresponsive. What if one actually took the time to craft its Terms of Service with its customer in mind, hiring someone with expertise to aid in the drafting, then actually took that a step further, negotiated terms with an actual client, and offered that ToS Agreement to you. Ahhhh. Wouldn't that be nice. Look no further. Have a look at the good folks at VLO Tech; bet you won't see folks blogging with complaints about their Terms: VLOTech.com

Re: Changing the Scope of LifeDev (Slightly)

dancovington — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:55:04 -0000

For the ultimate scope, I was thinking --

LifeDev: a little different. neat too.

... or "Empowering Creative People"; that's good too (do you think Creative Persons is too snooty).

Re: License to display your online files … BEWARE

dancovington — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 00:32:44 -0000

Erik (and Adobe), "...checking with our lawyers" and "looking into it"? We shall see. I'm just a country lawyer, but my readers and I have heard PR before. Honestly ... I wonder if you checked with anyone or looked into anything? For now, I suspect you feel like you "handled" me. Hope not. That kind of thing makes my guts itch... and that feeling just doesn't go away easily.

Thanks Chris; will definitely check it out.

Re: License to display your online files … BEWARE

Erik - Fair enough. However, I would be more comforted by a more meaningful limitation like "solely to deliver the Services to you, in accordance with your use of sharing, setting, and options in the Services." As it is written, I know what you mean and you know what you mean. But for those of us who have ethical and contractual duties to protect confidentiality and privilege, the current language doesn't give me that warm, fuzzy I-would-bet-my-bar-card-that-a-Court-would-construe-the-limitation-in-my-favor vibe.
By the way, as I spent a little time trying the service (with nominal documents), I'll have to tell you I think it's keen. It is the kind of gorgeous, diversely functional, collaborative tool I love, and I am looking forward to giving 9.0 (with so many lawyer-friendly functions) a spin.

Decent interview by (the ever-prolific) Scoble; bet those guys are hearing "why's twitter down so often" in their sleep (read nightmares).
And regarding your takeaway, it seems to me that's the 64 million dollar question: when does one stop (perhaps compulsively) planning, and just:
- launch the new site;
- develop his dream; or
- start that new business.
Great LifeDev insight as always; thanks!

Re: Metadata: is it in your attorney’s vocabulary?

dancovington — Fri, 23 May 2008 13:19:18 -0000

After coming across a metadata removal service, I have to wonder and invite opinions on whether such removal is contrary to the FRCP rule to preserve information as litigation becomes likely. I'd like to invite you to join the "shredding metadata? duty to preserve?" room on FriendFeed, a place for us to share and discuss things. I hope you'll join the room.

Re: Law 2.ooooooooooooooooooooh. Why so great?

dancovington — Tue, 20 May 2008 23:32:43 -0000

Grant, I've heard lots of reactions to increased portability and communication, and over and over , we get this one: gosh, what about security if all that client information is "out there"? Your take?

Re: Law 2.ooooooooooooooooooooh. Why so great?

dancovington — Tue, 20 May 2008 23:25:59 -0000

I really have to thank Grant and Stephanie. Didn't I promise they would bring ideas you had not considered? And I do have at least one follow-up for Stephanie: would it be a fair statement to say that with an online office comes somewhat less overhead than a traditional practice? Am I making a bad presumption, or how does that piece of the puzzle affect the big picture?

Re: Law 2.ooooooooooooooooooooh. Why so great?

dancovington — Tue, 20 May 2008 16:10:49 -0000

Despite my express invitation to Grant and Stephanie, please feel free to add your take on the opportunities/benefits question. Additionally, we are trying out the seesmic video comment system, and it may not stay around, so give it a shot today if you are game.
