The Push for Electronic Postings

On tap for today is a look at the SEC and blogs. I read Corporate Tweets and the SEC: Sometimes It’s Better to Keep Your Mouth Shut. The most interesting part was when the author, Brian Solis, discussed his views regarding electronic reports. He mentions that he posed the question earlier last year about getting rid of traditional press releases and move towards more of an electronic system of sending out information.


I find this to be a topic of extreme importance for the industry. As IR begins to move more and more online, we will see IRO’s start to push the limits of what we once thought was capable. The internet is beginning to dominate the world and more than likely everything imaginable will very shortly be online. It pushes companies to conform to technology and how the world is transforming.


Even the SEC has made the move to become more electronic. The most dinosaur of all things, the government, has made the move to go electronic. If that isn’t a significant sign of the times, then I’m not sure what is.
