blogging
blogs are a controlled type of forum where assigned authors may create new topics, others can only comment on those topics. these personal but very public journals represent a new trend in transparency for business leaders, and can be a catalyst for change. metaphor has helped clients establish and maintain blogs, including askROCCO.com's fitness blog.
podcasting
an alternative (or sometimes a companion) to blogs, podcasts are audio recordings posted to a web site, intended for people to download and listen to at their leisure. metaphor's technicians have over a decade of experience with digital audio, and can help you get your podcast setup so you can take advantage of the iPod phenomenon to benefit your organization.
web video
video on the web used to mean tiny clips with jerky movement and terrible sound, but no more. the emergence of new compression technologies allows for smooth motion, good color quality and much-improved audio. metaphor can help you over the hurdles of production, show you how to integrate video into your Web site on your own, or set it all up for you.
