Fictional Anonymous Lawyer Blogging
Anonymous Lawyer is one of my favorite blogs. It’s a fictional account of a partner in a high-powered law firm, but the real blogger is still in law school (I think). The fictional partner is ruthless, working associates, paralegals, receptionists, and interns like slaves.
Trust me. It’s funny.
The anonymous blogger posts maybe once a week, and although I wished he’d post more often, I understand (a little) why he doesn’t. Law school can be ruthless, too. Speechwriter and blogger Jane Genova is also a fan. In fact, the blog was one of her inspirations for joining the blogosphere. Lately she’s become disenchanted with the Anonymous Lawyer and offers some unsolicited advice:
- Get some classy graphics. The cute primitive phase is over in blog graphics. Actually it was over last April. That’s what designer Paul Chaney of Radiant Marketing Group nicely told me and for a discounted fee did an extreme makeover.
- Post more often. The only other alternative is to abandon the blog and that is never a good idea, say Robert Scoble and Shel Israel in their new book “Naked Conversations: How blogs are changing the way businesses talk with customers.” Blogging happens in real time and when there isn’t fresh content readers get annoyed.
Read the whole list. Whatever the blogger decides to do, I hope he keeps blogging.

Perhaps he shouldn’t have been surprised. After all, his blog is quite a feat of imagination.
