Apparently this week has seen a ton of new screen innovations that will really start to affect our business in about 3-5 years as production becomes feasible and costs come down.
Sharp, Epson & Hitchi all have some VERY interesting developments in the screen world…

Selling Digital Signage Ad Space - Part 1, 2 and 3
Filed Under Advertising, Digital Signage | 1 Comment
The Digital Signage medium is everything BUT TV.It has the dynamic nature of the Internet, the recency/FMOT (first moment of truth) of point of purchase, the localism of newspaper, the frequency of outdoor, the POTENTIAL relevance of magazines, unsurpassed qualitative measurement capability with none of the problems of TV - One of my advisors…RG
Nurlan, over at Broadsign started a post a while ago on Ad sales that I commented on (with respect to the “Points of Pain” that you have to satisfy for the buyers) and thought it was worth a repost here, because it seems to be attracting some attention.
There’s a lot of questions swirling around in support of ad sales and the more these can be shared, the faster the sales process will mature…

Well, I think it’s that time again. Everyone I’ve spoken to seems to be going a little nutty on the work front so I think it’s about time we all took a breather and swapped stories. There hasn’t been a mixer since early last month so…

I figured it was about time that ADCENTRICITY picked up the tab for the munchies and such.
We’ll figure out the venue closer to the date and I’ll post it here but for now, save the date:
Date: Wednesday, October 24th
Time:6:30 - whenever
Location: TBD
Hope to see you there! All are welcome.

Move to new server - Rob Gorrie’s Blog now at www.robgorrie.com
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Well, with the company move to a bigger office and my Chief Architect at ADCENTRICITY now actually allowing me to play with my own linux server (yes, despite my focus on advertising, I am a bit of a propeller head), I’ve decided to move my blog to these nice new digs on my own server.
I’ll maintain the old blog for a little while and maybe even do some dual posting but from here on in, you should repoint your browsers to this address:
For direct feeds for those with readers, if you can update to
http://www.robgorrie.com/feed/
Or for those with FeedBurner:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/robgorrie/feed
Hopefully I’ll be adding a few new toys and features here but I’ve outgrown the basic toys on Wordpress.com, so the move was necessary.
Cheers All! And to all those Canadian readers, Happy Thanksgiving!
Rob
