No Podcast This Week December 28, 2016 by Super User Just a quick note … no podcast this week. I have one or perhaps a pair of interviews tomorrow, so we’ll be back to the regular weekly cadence in the New Year, when everyone (me included) is fully back at work. There are some three dozen previous episodes, so you can perhaps revisit one or …
Sixteen:Nine Podcasts: Jacob Horwitz, IST December 21, 2016 by Super User Deployment is a huge part of any substantial digital signage project, but it’s not a side of the business that gets a lot of attention.

Sixteen:Nine Podcasts: Daniel Siden, Lightvert December 7, 2016 by Super User This week’s podcast is a little tough, because I’m going to ask listeners to get their brains around something they really need to see.

He sent me a link to a video, I watched it, and sent back a note saying, “That’s FREAKING brilliant!” The video was for a corporate communications project at the Blinds.com offices in Houston, Texas, and it showed staff-facing messaging being …
Sixteen:Nine Podcasts: Mark McDermott, ScreenCloud November 2, 2016 by Super User This week we’re talking content management software with Mark McDermott, the CEO and one of the co-founders of ScreenCloud, which offers a platform that looks, feels and works like much of what we do online with other subscription software tools.
