Nice Job: Mobile Apps and Resources for Legal Professionals and Other Researchers

Kudos and a tip o' the cap to Vicki Steiner from the Hugh and Hazel Darling Law Library at the UCLA School of Law in Los Angeles for compiling this excellent guide to mobile web apps and resources for legal pros that will also be of value to other researchers.

The resources are organized into several sections and even includes a few "apps for fun."

In the productivity collection, we're going to add one entry, Bing Mobile.

Bing Mobile apps for iPhone, Windows Phone, Blackberry, and Sidekick are available.

The new Bing App for iPhone is excellent. Not only does the app look great but Bing's image search is first-rate, it includes a barcode scanner, and you can access your social net results (if you choose to do that).

Overview here. and here. Don't have access to an app? The new and improved Bing mobile web site at http://m.bing.com has many of the same tools.

Also, since the relaunch of USA.gov the other day, don't forget the directory of government mobile apps at http://apps.usa.gov.

Finally, along the left rail, note the direct links to various app sites as well as a link to uquery.com,a search engine (think metasearch) for apps from many smartphones / operating systems. Wonderful.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
