MyParalegalSpace hits the paralegal social scene
ParalegalGateway.com, a site devoted to everything paralegal-related, has launched the first social networking site for paralegals: MyParalegalSpace.me.com. If the name sounds slightly familiar, that's because it's meant to. The site was designed to mirror the popular social networking site MySpace.com. Unlike its counterpart, this site is specifically geared toward paralegals. MyParalegalSpace.me.com allows paralegals to share pictures, view blogs, and connect with other professionals in the industry. They can sign up and create their own profiles, much like on MySpace.com.
