Digitize or be gone!

Digitize or disappear, that was the message at the “Digital Publishing and Media 2010” round-table hosted by EMC and HCL in New York City earlier this month.

Hats-off to Lou Giordano and whoever set up the event because this was indirect selling at its finest. EMC and HCL stayed in the background while James McQuivey of Forrester Research called publishers (educational, trade, periodical), media, and entertainment companies to action.

Go digital or disappear like the newspapers have, he said. Go digital or lose to someone who will digitize and distribute (think iTunes). Go digital and distribute in multiple formats to a variety of digital devices (think about all the content that can be accessed by your iPhone) or lose customers.

Get Your Own Geek Chart!

I'm in the midst of writing a real great post about some greenfields that ECM vendors are working to get a foothold in and, quite frankly, it won't be finished tonight.

So, since I'm trying to post more regularly, I thought I'd offer our regular readers a treat instead- a link so that you can get your very own geek chart, "a little pie chart to put on your blog that links to your  contributions to the web."

The idea is that you enter your user names for sites like Twitter, You Tube,  Flickr, Facebook, and so on, and it makes a chart of where you spend your time sharing.

Can you add this app to CenterStage?

What to say next? Here's where you can make your very Geek Chart.

If you show me yours, I'll show you mine!
