The Intelligent Intertubes: A Weekly Roundup

Here's your weekly recap of the Intertubes:

The web, the world and even intelligence gathering is changing, and August Jackson has a few thoughts on the matter.

The fantastic CI Resource Guide has been updated. If you need a source, this is the place to look.

With many thanks to the Law Librarian Blog, we should all take a look at Whichdraft.com and then rethink the notion that Web 2.0 does not affect law firms or legal work.

The Legal Intelligencer gets all crystal-ball on the future of law schools and firms. Very interesting thoughts on publicly traded law firms.

The ACC has released it's annual "Managing Outside Counsel" survey results. Cost containment is a huge concern, as is to be expected. One surprising trend: Companies are spending more in-house and less on outside counsel.

The ACC has also developed a law firm ranking system, one that actually has value to law firms and in-house counsel. And SURPRISE! Law firms won't pay for advertisements like, ahem, other rankings programs.

Do you have blogs/podcasts/sites that you'd like included in the weekly roundup? I'd be ever so delighted if you could send your suggestions to ssanksto@quarles.com.

And hey, Intertubes! Do you have a blog? Perhaps a blog that talks about CI stuff? Then for Heaven's sake, leave a comment and promote yourself shamelessly - or your friend, or some stranger that you think had a pretty good post!

Thanks for the picture, yourfunnyvalentine!
