Tweet Follower No. 948: Conrad Saam, Avvo Marketing Maven

The 948th Tweet Follower for PittsburghLegal is Conrad Saam of AVVO. Under the direction of Conrad, AVVO has been blazing new trails in marketing for lawyers. This includes posting AVVO Answers, lawyer answers to AVVO reader questions, on Twitter. I posted my first AVVO Answer on Twiiter today.

Think Technology, Not Jobs!

So, instead of promoting employment as the focus of political discourse, why not promote the development of technology and technology education?

After a couple weeks of public rage, his poll numbers were so low that he ranked just below stink bugs. Then, last week, after it appeared […]

The Japanese Meltdown.

How quickly it can happen! A large segment of a heavily populated nation has been reduced to rubble. Thousands are dead. Many others are missing. Survivors are trying to survive with severely limited food, water and shelter. The world’s third largest economy is in total paralysis.
