Official Gmail Blog: The photos from your phone, now one click away

Google has made it easier for Gmail users to insert or attach photos they have taken with mobile devices into the emails they compose on their desktop or laptop computers. In order to take advantage of the feature, you must be using the Auto Backup feature of the Google+ app to automatically upload the photos you take on your device to your Google+ account.

Google's new "Insert Photo" button, in the Gmail compose window, gives users access to the images they have stored in their Google+ profile.

         

Clicking the button opens a new window that displays all of the photos stored as part of your Google+ profile (both public and private).

• Click on individual photos to elect one or more to include in the email message. 
• Use the buttons in the lower right-hand corner to indicate whether the photos should be included as attachments to the message or embedded in the message ("Inline")
• Click the "Insert" button to add the photo(s) to your email.

Social Media Research Legal Ethics California MCLE

More and more attorneys and judges are using social media, either for its intended purpose of social networking (and, for the lesser intended purpose of marketing) or for its unintended purpose of investigative research.

There has been much discussion online amongst legal experts about what sorts of investigative activity is ethical for lawyers to engage in. Most Bar Associations however, have not yet addressed this topic. Three exceptions are the New York City, Philadelphia Bar and the New York State Bar. While they have addressed similar questions, they do not necessarily agree on the potential ethical considerations. These two California Legal Ethics MCLE exercises investigate these legal ethics opinions and their respective stances on the uses of Social Media sites like Facebook and Twitter for investigative research - and particularly contacting unrepresented parties.
