JD Supra lives up to the hype
I’m always fairly skeptical of new document sharing sites. There have been a host of new legal document sites in the past year, and none have really impressed me. There was a lot of hype ahead of the JD Supra release this week, and frankly I was worried it wouldn’t live up to it.
But JD Supra really has the potential to be something special. And I’m not just saying that because they put me on their blogroll.
Steve Matthews made the announcement earlier this week. Connie, Bonnie, Doug, and many others have blogged about it.
My big test with sites like this are whether or not I would feel comfortable delivering the content to my attorneys or pointing them to the site as a reliable source for information. The answer with this site is yes, and that’s about the highest compliment I can give.
It’s easy to navigate, easy to sign up. I haven’t tried uploading any documents, but I might try to find something to add.
I do have a suggestion for future development. I would like to see some sort of alert system for searches, documents, or even specific contributors. Ideally this would be an RSS feed.
But this is a great start and I look forward to seeing how it develops.

RSS is on the way shortly. Hopefully within a week or so.
Thanks for the kind words Jason. Much appreciated!
Hi Jason:
That is a fantastic test for new sites. Will have to remember that.
Cheers,
Connie
