Thank somebody it’s Friday:

• Where Is Your Data? reports an interesting case about Donald Blaney, who is a minor blogger, served a court order on an unknown person for “mildly offensive” use of his Twitter account.  The funny thing, is this seems to be more of a PR stunt than an efficient method for ridding the problem.

• The Posse List has an update on the IQPC Conference happening in Brussels.  The conference is directed at information retention and e-disclosure management in Europe.

• Brian Baxter, on AmLaw Daily, conducts an informative interview with a project manager for Clutch Group.  It goes through his leaving his job in NYC and venturing to Bangalore for something more challenging.
