eDiscovery Daily Blog
eDiscovery Daily is Four Years Old!
Believe it or not, it has been four years ago this past Saturday since we launched the eDiscovery Daily blog!
When we launched nearly four years ago on September 20, 2010, our goal was to be a daily resource for eDiscovery news and analysis. Now, we’ve done so for four years. We’ve lasted as long as many presidential administrations (and probably worked WAY more days). We hit over 300,000 visits to the site in May and, earlier this month published our 1,000th post! And, every post we have published is still available on the site for your reference, which has made eDiscovery Daily into quite a knowledgebase! We’re quite proud of that.
Comparing our first three months of existence to now, we have seen traffic on our site grow an amazing 474%! Our subscriber base has more than tripled in the last three years! And, as always, we have you to thank for that! Thanks for making the eDiscoveryDaily blog a regular resource for your eDiscovery news and analysis! We really appreciate the support!
As many of you know by now, we like to take a look back every six months at some of the important stories and topics during that time. So, here are some posts over the last six months you may have missed. Enjoy!

For the next two weeks (other than Jane’s Thursday posts), we will be re-publishing a few of our popular posts from the past as I will be on my honeymoon! While blog editors don’t need as much vacation as US presidents do, we still need a break every once in a while. 🙂
