We always enjoy free publicity. This past week US Food Safety’s Twitter page was listed among The Who’s Who of Food Safety on Twitter.
Bill Marler, who I respect, and Food Safety News and his plethora of blogs are geared toward attracting plaintiffs harmed by food poisoning. He makes no secret of this. The list is a complilation by of his bloggers. Listing of course, his blog first. There is nothing wrong with tooting your own horn.
I found this list interesting and just for kicks, I took the list, went to Twitter and looked at the followers because, in the world of social networking, it’s all about the numbers.
Low and behold, the US Food Safety blog numbers comes in third behind the USDA and Consumer Reports. I was astonished that we beat out Marion Nestle who’s Tweet about the Pop Tart store will be a destination when I visit the big apple.
It means our followers care about what we Tweet and we take that very seriously. Thank you Bill Marler for again validating what do. I hope this blog helps increase your Twitter numbers.

Actually, Food Safety News is a stand alone publication. Marler Clark acts as a publisher – we pay salaries of 3 full-time people, 4 interns and several free lancers. We keep the law firm separate from the content, but make it clear that we sponsor the site.

“are geared toward attracting plaintiffs harmed by food poisoning. He makes no secret of this. ”
Can you point to something other than you opinion that this is what I use my blog for?
Also, my blog was listed 6th on the list – it was not in numerical order anyway.

Hi Bill,
Your practice is admirable and know you have a great nationwide following, as do we. From what I have read, you are a zealous advocate for your clients.
Food Safety News is a Twitter page from your law firm. It says it is presented by Marler Clark. Your personal blog is 6th but your law firm is first and center as it should be when someone from your firm is writing. I only looked at the numbers which at the last count put US Food Safety’s Twitter page third.
As long as we all get the word out, there is no competition. I appreciate your passion and I hope you appreciate ours. Thank you for the mention.
Regards, Susan
