Jim Turley is a big name in the world of processors and embedded design, and a great addition to the OpenSystems Media (OSM) team. Interestingly Jim has been hired to moderate webcasts: the popularity of webcasts seems to continue to grow in our industry, and the appointment of someone as well-known as Jim specifically for this medium emphasises the trend.
Many companies and publishers, however, still don’t produce or get involved in webcasts. Most of our clients find that webcasts exceed their expectations: we’ve had clients setting targets of around 30 attendees, and then finding that 100 potential customers sign up! I also think that webcasts are going to be more and more important for publishers: readers want to consume multi-media content, and publishers that remain tied to the written word are simply less interesting.
