Starting a Law Firm | Firm Technology

When thinking about how to use technology to help me start a law firm, I have come across some really cool, free, ideas.

I know I discussed MindMeister already in a previous post, but while using the brainstorming tool on MindMeister I was referenced to Yahoo Widgets.  I’ll admit that I am not one for gadgets, but I really liked this one.

I have trouble keeping my thoughts organized and I am always coming up with what I think are great ideas.  Sometimes I actually write them down.  Sometimes I put them in an email and email it to myself.  All of this is very disorganized and often doesn’t lead to much.

But, the MindMeister brainstorming chart I am using is linked to a Yahoo Widget called Geistes Blitz.  Being a German student in high school, I knew “geistes” meant mind.  So, the widget is a mind blitz or, put another way, an idea capturing tool that sends all my starting an Minneapolis family law firm ideas to my MindMeister chart.

Pretty cool huh?

This way, if I’m working at my computer or surfing the web for helpful information on starting a family law firm, I can pull up the Geistes Blitz, type in an idea and/or link and it automatically goes to the marketing section of my chart.

This may be kind of lame, but I find this kind of very helpful for idea organization when starting a law firm.
