Those Lawfare readers who do not use social networking sites should ignore this post. For those, however, who do use Facebook and Twitter, I am writing to ask that you take modest steps using those sites to help us reach a wider audience. Lawfare receives a surprising amount (more than 20 percent over the past month) of its traffic from those sites, particularly from Twitter--where our feed tweets each and every post that appears on the site.

Those Lawfare readers who do not use social networking sites should ignore this post. For those, however, who do use Facebook and Twitter, I am writing to ask that you take modest steps using those sites to help us reach a wider audience. Lawfare receives a surprising amount (more than 20 percent over the past month) of its traffic from those sites, particularly from Twitter--where our feed tweets each and every post that appears on the site. Every time, someone retweets one of those messages or uses the Twitter icon at the bottom of each post, people who don't know about Lawfare come to the site for the first time. Most of them, I suspect, are appalled, but a few stick around. On Facebook, every time you "Recommend" a post or click that you "Like" our Facebook page, you help spread the word to a much wider audience than we can reach on our own. So if you like Lawfare, "like" it. If you would recommend Lawfare to a friend, "recommend" it. Follow and retweet our Twitter feed. And if you tweet, please share our posts. You will be helping to build the site and make sure that people who don't read Lawfare don't read it because they don't want to--not because they don't know about it.

Benjamin Wittes is editor in chief of Lawfare and a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. He is the author of several books.
