More on RSS Feeds

Are you a lawyer?  Did you write a brilliant memo or article about some securities litigation topic and post it to your website today or yesterday or last week?  Well, people like me and many of the readers of this blog would like to read your brilliant work but guess what?  We don't know it exists. 

On the other hand, as discussed here, law firms like Wilmer Cutler (sorry, "WilmerHale") have taken the initiative to add an RSS feed to their website.  And so when they post their memos, etc. to their website (such as this interesting analysis posted today about Siebel's Reg FD battle with the SEC), those of us who are looking for such things find them immediately.

I feel kind of bad for Dudley Dorr, but I 'm glad that they kept the Hale part, since Richard W. Hale was my great-grandfather. I'll bet you money that it will be called Hale and Dorr in Boston for a long time. People referred to the Milk Street subway station, even long after it had been renamed.

Dudley Huntington Dorr was my great-grandfather. My grandfather followed in his footsteps and worked at the firm as well. We Dorr's got the short-end of the stick on the name change(WilmerHale), but such is life. Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr was definitely a mouthful. Nevertheless, have a lot of great old Hale and Dorr early artifacts & photos including a lot of Joseph Nye Welch around the time of the Army-McCarthy hearings. Anywho... I couldn't resist posting after I saw your message.
