Online Communities Can Provide Ample Fodder for Divorce Lawyers, Says Community Insider

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 29, 2009 -- With nearly three years of experience growing and managing an online community, author and community strategist, Angela Connor is privy to a great deal of what goes on behind the scenes when people meet online and buy into the feeling of complete anonymity and protection.

Connor is not surprised by the fact that many divorce lawyers are moving to social networks to check up the spouses of their clients and only wonders why more aren't doing the same. A divorce lawyer in North Carolina is quoted on the website Lawyers USA saying that family law attorneys are really lagging behind other lawyers and judges. He says that he routinely finds evidence on Facebook that supports adultery.

"I have received emails from wives indicating concern about the behavior of their significant others," says Connor. "I was once accused of running a site that was destroying a marriage because of the racy and sometimes sexually explicit comments that were being posted between a woman's husband and other women in the community. The sender wrote in the email that her husband could not resist and somehow felt I as the community manager, was to blame."

Angela Connor is available to discuss this topic in detail and can provide numerous stories about the perception of privacy in online communities and how it can potentially ruin relationships.

Angela is a multimedia journalist and author of the book "18 Rules of Community Engagement: A Guide for Building Relationships and Connecting With Customers Online."
