  6. 5 Often-Overlooked Steps to Building a Useful Chatbot for Your Law Practice

    "People say chatbots are the new apps. But in many ways, they are even better. When you consider the oversaturation of apps—and that you don’t need to download a chatbot, learn a new user interface, or worry about what operating system you’re using it on—it becomes obvious that chatbots eliminate troublesome user-adoption friction. Consumer surveys show that chatbots also address modern consumer expectations."  (via lawyerist.com)

    "The site, known as GEDmatch, is a popular resource for people who have obtained their own DNA through readily available consumer testing services and want to fill in missing portions of their family tree to conduct further analyses. Compared to a polished service like 23andMe, GEDmatch is an open platform lacking the same privacy and legal restrictions that govern user data on more mainstream platforms." (via techcrunch.com)

  9. Top 10 Cities Where you Can Pay the Bill in Bitcoin

    "Bitcoin has grown to a billion-dollar market. The number of Bitcoins has been growing since the creation of the virtual currency in 2009, and has now reached approximately 16.95 million in March 2018. The number of Bitcoin ATMs has also risen steadily across the world since 2016, growing from 500 to more than 2,500." (via itworldcanada.com)
