Seems like it's been a slow news week! Here are some recent interesting clips from the web:

• Digital Out Of Home Media Sales Added To Signagelive Platform - Remote Media have teamed up with Media Plus International to enable advertisers to deploy media assets to signagelive networks straight from the Advantage media sales platform.

• Vast arrays of TVs for patrons help eateries channel profits - "What seems to resonate with customers is the ability to feel a little bit like you're in your own living room - only on steroids - where you've got news, sports, cartoons, or whatever it is you like, and you can select what you want to view when you're there," [McDonald's franchisee Mark Watson] said.

• NTN Buzztime, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2008 Results - Revenue from continuing operations decreased by $0.5 million or 7% to $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to revenues of $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2007. Net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2008 was $2.3 million compared to a net loss of $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2007. Although the customer site count declined by only approximately 4.5% comparing the 2008 first quarter with the equivalent period of 2007, revenue decreased by a higher percentage due to the longer-term effect on recurring revenues of a net decline in sites over recent quarters.
