Our featured law firm memo for the day comes from Dorsey & Whitney LLP, and offers counsel on how to stay socially relevant – or at least stay abreast of developments in social media.  In “Facebook Places Has Checked-in: Brand Owners Should Consider Proactively Setting Up Pages to Prevent Unfixable Errors,” Dorsey & Whitney partner Jamie N. Nafziger cautions about the trickier aspects of establishing a Facebook Places Page for your business.

Facebook Places is, apparently, a geolocation social networking service that is directly competitive with Yelp, Gowalla, and Foursquare.  Already available for iPhones, it’s on the way for Android and Blackberry users soon.  Nafziger explains how best to protect your brands in connection with this new wave in social media; some of us are still trying tofigure out what Twitter is.
