Sightings: Citibank Time-Lapsed Video Wall At JFK February 7, 2012 by Super User [vimeo id=”32455924″ width=”600″ height=”350″] I can’t find a whole bunch of detail about the timing or status of this project, but it’s another example of effectively using the long runs of digital screens in a concourse at JFK’s American Airlines International Terminal in New York. This is the same run of screens, I think, that …

Company’s New Up-Time Service Seems To Just Keep Up With Industry Joneses February 6, 2012 by Super User Retail marketing agency/digital signage software vendor and consultancy John Ryan has announced the launch of a bank-centric digital signage monitoring application designed to maximize up-time.
