I pay attention to about 300 online feeds, some of them news others just blogs of interest. One site I follow is SEOmoz.org. Sam Niccolls posted an interesting article today that was quite distrubing. It spoke of how, as it would seem, top ranked sites are targeting pornographic keywords to increase pagerank and revenue. Super sad. Because sites like TechCrunch make their revenue from advertising click-throughs, and because those click-throughs come via the sheer mass of searches done for explicit keywords, it’s easy to see how they may be motivated to regularly target such terms.

Sad to say the least.

Data Multicasting: A VERY Brief Overview

I’ve been reading some techie docs lately on the power of data multicasting. Yes, I know it sounds incredibly boring, but it’s a valuable asset to have in the digital signage industry. In fact, there are only a handful of companies within digital signage that currently specialize in data multicast technology. To remain competitive, some will require adaptation and continuous engineering going forward. Many customers are asking for it, hence the education.

What is Data Multicasting?

Multicasting involves a one-to-many or many-to-many relationship and allows for increases in efficiency in use of network resources when it comes to packet distribution. Multicasting can use the following protocols: MOSPF, CBT, IGMP, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, and BGMP.

Multicasting can be used in the following applications:

Network Configuration
Content Distribution
Shared Apps:
Information Distribution
Multipoint Distribution: which includes, but is not limited to anycasting, unitcasting, and broadcasting.
