I read a lot of blogs. And when I write a lot, I mean A LOT. But that's what they say you should do if you're writing your own blog. And since I read a ton of online content and am a self-proclaimed corporate communication nerd, I will from time to time share the stuff I find interesting. Some will be related to digital signage specifically, while others may deal with corporate communications writings. Here;s my current brain scan.

Paul Flanigan, of Experiate.net, writes about the three rules for digital signage audio in a retail environment.

Check out this post I did regarding audio last year.

Harriet Meth is at again over at Messaged to Deaf with today's post. The content focuses on the key elements of why some videos go viral. You've seen the Blendtec "Will it blend" series on YouTube? Harriet points out that one of the keys to a viral video is storytelling. To me, this is an undervalued skill in employee communications. Hmm, I smell a future blog post.

Does freedom of speech extend to internal communications? Jeremy Robert suggests that companies letting their employees use social media are insane. I suggest that Jeremy may be taking this to a bit of extreme. Companies are taking a bit of a risk, but I don't think it requires these companies be committed. (I will warn you that the language is a bit rough in the post.)
