Screens at truck service centers great idea, but a little fumbled on the execution August 5, 2009 by Dave Haynes There’s a little piece in Digital Signage Today about some Peterbilt Truck Centers in the US south putting screens in to their parts and service counters and wait lounges.

Spot On August 5, 2009 by Dave HaynesYou’re right on the money. I would like to add a couple more things (even though this is about Twitter, you struck a nerve with LinkedIn.) You’re right about LinkedIn, but I try to take it seriously. Sure, I use it to self promote, but I also use it to contact each of my connections …
Your right, as usual… August 4, 2009 by Dave HaynesDave, you’re right about everything. LinkedIn has degenerated into a heap of self-promotional nonsense.

Compnay name…. August 4, 2009 by Dave Haynes“Mommentum” – that seems designed to have customers NOT find you on Canada411, online, etc… I am sure they have a great reason for their cute name but since it is apparently a reason known only to them… 😉

Content August 4, 2009 by Dave HaynesDoes this use the same video wall technology that Samsung featured at their Infocomm booth this year? If I am not mistaken, there is a plug-in player in each of those screens and then a routing appliance that handles the content management. Do you happen to know the specifics of the architecture? Who creates the …
