I found my Twitter groove in July 2009. 54 tweets below came in rapid succession @noricd. The most recent appear first.

In the same month, TechCrunch published confidential document extracts on Twitter's business planning strategy and issues.

1. #Start-up collaboration smarties - realise #IP is just an opportunity, pay for legal advice, and value-add to the IP for all to share the $
2. #Start-up collaboration primitives - believe #IP is a pie, seek a bigger personal cut, fail to get legal advice, then fight over the bones
3. 3 key ways to improve business lawyer #productivity. 1 Use project management. 2 Develop commercial thinking. 3 Seek costs predictability.
4. We inspired a client today to create a great #brand name in 1 hour. We asked: What's the vibe, vision or positive message? He sparked. :)
5. #IP strategy is 1% inspiration and 99% IP auditing, deal making, negotiation, documentation, registration, management... you get the picture

11. Internet business models debunk The Long Tail theory - my latest blog post at http://tinyurl.com/nc54lc
12. I was told a lawyer who advises himself has a fool for a client. I say a client who takes advice and does not follow it is being foolish.
13. Fact - print publishers for professionals continue to loose subscribers. Reason? The internet fire hose of information. Solution? Web 2.0.
14. Chris Anderson wrote on the wrong tail. Today I saw the real long tail. It is a printed industry "publication" containing only advertorials.
15. Brainstormed today for a quality Enterprise 2.0 web venture reworking the medical sector. Today it was great to be an IP lawyer in Sydney.
16. I engage with social media as it builds my predictive capacity as a #lawyer. Traditional media is taken over by public relations, and worse.
17. It would be nice if journaism and academia were on the path to improved predictive capacity. From my perspective they are in decline.
18. Seek predictive capacity from #IP lawyers advising on IP strategy. Question their learning, experience, research, thinking and realism.
19. Dion Hinchcliffe foresight - Assessing the Enterprise 2.0 marketplace in 2009: Robust and crowded http://bit.ly/1ffsz

21. Business and legal hints for software #commercialisation by small IT developers are in my latest post - http://tinyurl.com/nowb5m
22. #Change is faster now. Change is more unpredictable now. WE NEED: 1. New approaches. 2. People thinking 5+ years ahead. 3. Quality data.
23. Nobody I've met in professional services thinks we should have even more legislation. In Australia a tsunami of law is coming at us! Why?

29. Wrote a harangue today, an article on things to consider in corporate or organisational social media policies. See www.dilanchian.com.au
30. Fish wrap whinge. In July 2009 it is mindless for a newspaper to discuss corporate social media policies and fixate on risk management.
31. Be clear, are you employee or independent contractor? Affects: 1. tax, 2. IP ownership, 3. insurance cover, 4. liability for negligence etc.
32. I thought the distinction in Oz law between the concepts of employee and independant contractor were settled. Not so, I've found in 2009.
33. Business partners and collaborators of the world - put your deal in writing! Keep the deal verbal if you want lawyers to make more money.

47. QUESTION: What's best for IP commercialisation? Is it being a licensor, supplier, brand owner, component manufacturer or something else?
48. As a lawyer, for me the most interesting QUESTION for a client is - what is your intellectual property or technology commercialisation path?
