Coming March 18, 2008 to TechnoFeature: With all the talk about Web 2.0, email remains the neglected black sheep of the Internet — with regard to venture capital. In all other respects, it remains the once and future killer app. Like the Web, email technology has evolved, and so has our usage. BlackBerry anyone? So the time has come for new rules! In this insightful article, litigators David J. Goldstone and Robert Frederickson III revisit the rules of email etiquette we all learned at the turn of the century, and assess which ones have stood the test of time and which ones require some rethinking. If you you have anything to add, go ahead and reply-to-all.

Coming March 11, 2008 to TechnoFeature: Ask a litigator what topic weighs heavily on their mind these days and often you'll hear eDiscovery.

Last week Bruce discussed Records Management. This week he covers Identification and Preservation.
