Alert! Changes to Facebook’s Publication Guidelines! (. . . A Sign of the Times)
I get a number of legal “alerts” from different firms, and this recent one from Perkins Coie caught my eye. It’s title, “New Facebook Promotions Guidelines Now in Effect” is simple enough; but, when you read it, it summarizes Facebook’s new guidelines with the respect and diligence typically reserved for federal rulemaking.
This is simply another testament to how central to commerce Facebook and other Web 2.0 companies (LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) have become over the last couple of years. A blue-chip law firm like Perkins Coie (who is Avvo’s counsel btw) understands that Facebook’s rules impact their clients’ businesses – and they smartly want to be the first to alert their clients just as they would with an important change in federal regulation. I look forward to the day when Perkins is reporting on Avvo policy changes. :-)
Not surprisingly, this reminds me that Facebook will be speaking at our Avvocating Conference next month. It gives you the chance to speak to the giants of the Web face-to-face. It is going to be great.
Be Web-savvy.
