A Twitter Interview with LinkedIn Lawyer David Barrett

Many thanks to Lance Godard of The Godard Group for including me as the 22nd interviewee in his creative Twitter interview series, "22 Tweets - Real Time Twitter Interviews with Lawyers Who Tweet."

Godard uses a series of questions posed via Twitter and a threaded conversation hashtag (#22twts) to allow his subjects to tell the story of their law practice.



You can click here for the full interview with LinkedIn Lawyer David Barrett.

Godard includes particular questions about law practice, and more broad questions about the legal profession as a whole. As patterns emerge, he is able to bring together the common views of his interviewees.

Godard proves that Twitter is only as innovative and powerful as we are, and that this rather simple internet interface has significant creative potential.
