Video: The Wall of Headlines

This week we moved into our new offices in New York City. Among the highlights, is a giant wall of headlines. Richard Edelman gives us a tour.

There's something about headlines that still gives me goosebumps. I hope that even in the age of streams, headlines don't lose their punch.

Another noteworthy item in our new offices is a giant HP Touchsmart PC. I had a chance to play with it the other day and will shoot some video to share next week. (HP is an Edelman client.)

Not bad. When I first looked at it I thought, "how come it is not moving?". This is a static piece is it now? The mention of the HP screen implied a real time "thing" that had updated to all client related happenings/updates/streams. That would be cool. An Edelman friendfeed-like wall of feeds.

Judd that is correct. This one is static. The HP Touchsmart is dynamic. More to come.

This looks like the NYT headline wallpaper by artist AJ Bocchino, which uses headlines between 1990 and 2005 http://is.gd/2PTth Headlines are organized chronologically and color-coded by subject.
