Here’s the introduction.. actually well worth a read as we still haven’t that much lawyer / legal content on You Tube that we think is worth forwarding to our readers .. this piece has reminded HOB to take a closer look again
As of mid-March, YouTube ranked No. 4 among the top U.S. Web sites according to Alexa.com. YouTube is described as “the leader in online video, and the premier destination to watch and share original videos worldwide through a Web experience.” The site says it “allows people to easily upload and share video clips on www.YouTube.com and across the Internet through Web sites, mobile devices, blogs, and e-mail.” YouTube hosts more than 150 million videos.
Do lawyers really use YouTube?
Absolutely. When I searched YouTube using the term “lawyers,” I came up with 45,500 videos. When I typed in “Philadelphia lawyer,” I got 861 results; “Pennsylvania lawyer” gave me 3,180; “corporate lawyer” gave me 1,840; “personal injury lawyer” gave me 6,380; “criminal defense attorney” gave me 5,360; “divorce lawyer” gave me 3,080, and “employment lawyer” gave me 1,930.
