In the future, digital signs will be very thin and bendable, according to a digital signage story at aka.tv (free registration required).

They're going to do this with carbon nanotubes - I'm sure at a very low cost - not.  I just hope the margins in this business don't get equally thin.

Why stop with a 50 inch plasma when you can use a whole building?

The architects think bigger than us technology folks.  Here's an article about using the entire building as an "active skin," what we would call a digital sign. (HT: Digital Signage Talk)

Digital Signage Talk has a digital signage and lcd post that asks if plasma screens are done for digital signage.I think that size matters and cost matters for digital signage.

I would rather spend the same bucks for a larger plasma display than for a smaller LCD display. In most digital signage installations, I don't see a big benefit for LCD - today, that is. This could certainly change tomorrow.

So you think digital signage is this old TV running a DVD loop of a turkey hunt over and over?Check out the latest from the New York Times. Two giant digital billboards that advertisers can buy as a pair, facing each other.

The cost?


But who's counting when you think of the impact?

I can't get a picture to embed, but you get the idea.

Thanks to Digital Signage Talk for picking this up.

Interesting company - qtags (HT Digital Signage Talk)

They put up a number on a digital billboard. You textmessage to the number with a message and receive a text message back with some sort of offer.

You can try it by texting 78247 with the message nycgoody - You'll get a text message back with a special offer from an advertiser participating in the promotion program.

Cool way of adding interactivity to digital signage of all types.
