Well, my complaint yesterday about Google searches coming up empty is no longer a problem… searches for terms like CPA weblog, accountant weblog and the like now have a result: this site. Oh well. Maybe others looking for them will find this site, and point me to sites that must be out there. Anyone? Anyoone?…

Where, oh where are the accounting blogs? So far, I’ve managed to find just one: the cleverly titled “Accounting-blog“. (No clue who’s behind it, or even how to get in touch with them.) But searches for “accountant blog“, “ accountant weblog“, “CPA blog“, “CPA weblog“ and so on are, um, not exactly fruitful. What gives? Sure,…

Weil Gotshal is making up for that embarassing Global Crossing gaffe from a few weeks ago with this document repository for the Enron reorg. In partnership with e-Law, LLC, Weil Gotschal has put the documents, the service list, the hearing schedule, and instructions for appearing by telephone online. Nice. [law .com]

Jenny (TheShiftedLibrarian) finds a gem, allowing you to get the Google News feeds directly into your news aggregator (if you don’t know what one is, read the “about this site“ page and read about RSS to get more info). Very cool. Serendipity! Multiple Google News Feeds from The Loebrichs: “My aggregator brought in an interesting story from The…

Hard to imagine, but it looks like Senator Fritz Hollings (D-SC) may be on the right side of the law on this one. This is the same guy who two weeks ago proposed a bill that would effectively have Congress enter into a limited partnership with Hollywood; now it looks like Fritz is siding with…

The goals: greater customer convenience, faster communication, and improved efficiency via an…

Fast Company interviews David Maister on why professional services firms are so poorly run. If you haven’t seen David speak before, you should. Though the shtick gets old after a while (you can only listen to him clear his throat into a lavalier mic so often), he has been thinking about management of professional services…

Clay Shirky was the moderator at this year’s PC Forum, and his article titled Communities, Audiences and Scale provides a very interesting argument about the sustainability of communities. He compares the viability of audiences (one-way communication model) to communities (two-way communication model), and identifies weblog software (like Radio) as transforming the traditional Internet model away from an…

Mark Cuban is the Chairman of HDNet, the first all-HD, national TV network, and says in a speech at the NAB that broadcasters should “totally ignore Hollywood in the fight over digital rights management,” calling the studios’ fears a “chicken little environment.” [ Consensus at Lawyerpoint] Cuban is a breath of fresh air. Whether it’s…

I originally wrote this article about law firms and KM last month, but a conversation with “Ernie” last week, today’s link to the Global Counsel article, and an e-mail I just got from Buzz prompted me to include another link.
