x-factor
Noun: 1. A variable in a situation that could have the most significant impact on the outcome
2. A special talent or quality
Last week, Fox Broadcasting premiered the second season of its hit show “The X Factor.” For those of you aren’t familiar with the program, “The X Factor” is a musical competition show where judges seek contestants with a certain “je nais se quoi” that will take them to the next level. In the end, winners usually receive a recording contract.
Although ACC isn’t showcasing the talent of the next singing superstar, we do have an x-factor of our own. Last year, we launched the ACC Member-to-Member (M2M) application. It provides members with a new way to connect with ACC and other in-house counsel on the go. And just last week, we updated the application to include information regarding this year’s ACC annual meeting. These updates will allow attendees of this year’s annual meeting to customize their experience from the palm of their hand.
For all you Simon Cowells out there, brewing with skepticism, here are the top five reasons to vote — I mean download — the M2M application:
5. Members can read ACC news and updates (including Twitter feeds, In-house Access blogs and Facebook posts);
4. Members can review, read, post and comment on eGroup postings;
3. The annual meeting application (integrated within the M2M application) allows members to view sessions, exhibits and speaker bios;
2. M2M is the world’s largest virtual community of in-house counsel, allowing you to network whenever and wherever you need it most; and
1. It’s free for iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry and Android users.
Now that our three-and-a-half minutes are up, what say ye, fair judges? Download the M2M app and tell us your thoughts in the comment section below. We would love to hear from you!
