The legal profession is waking up this morning to the distressing news that not a single of its members achieved a place in The Independent’s list of the UK’s 100 most influential tweeters.
Scandalously, not even legal Twitter A-lister David Allen Green (pictured) – who boasts 24,571 followers and was recently named the 64th most influential man in Britain by GQ magazine – made the Independent's roll of honour.
What chance, then, did the likes of Chris “Follow me and I’ll follow you back” Sherliker (@London_Law_Firm 14,842 followers) and Tim Kevan, aka fictional Guardian blogger @BabyBarista (11,383 followers), stand?
As tweeting lawyers collectively grapple to come to terms with this slight, a concern is emerging that they have been penalised for being TOO successful.
