Martindale-Hubbell Connected Redesign
on May 20, 2010 in Publish to KM Space, Social Networking and Web 2.0
Lexis-Nexis gave a sneak peak of some upcoming changes to their Martindale- Hubbell Connected social network site for lawyers. They cleaned up the user interface, with new colors, improved navigation and improved searching. The current Connected site has been a disappointment.
