On my way to the International Legal Technology Association in Orlando, Fla., I was searching for some light reading to accompany me in transit. After perusing the top ten best sellers, I decided not to help the publishing industry recycle paper. Instead, I cracked open the 2007 American Bar Association Legal Technology Resource Center Survey Report. I found it interesting to see how the responders receive technology information.
The ABA Legal Technology Resource Center sent out 28,018 electronic survey invitations and received 1,876 in return. Although that might look like a dismal response for the time and effort, in reality, that's not all that bad -- especially for electronic surveys.
Of the 1,876 who responded, 71 percent said they get technology information from print publications. On the electronic front, 54 percent said they receive information from Web sites -- 29 percent get their information from e-mail newsletters. But only 6 percent of the responders get technology information from blogs and only 3 percent from RSS feeds.
I guess we have a ways to go before Web 2.0.
