  1. Is blogging still the same as before? I think it is not as effective as it used to. I think social media statuses are now better. Blogposts are now too long for people to read except if they need in-depth information.

  2. I look forward to the #ScottsBizChat. What’s a signage TV? How could you use it in your business?
