While I was posting far less often in 2012 (new supply few times a month), the readership (demand) has only increased year over year. This is yet another sign that Digital Asset Management is still growing. Some say the DAM market will surpass the billion dollar mark in 2013. Most of the blog posts listed above are still very relevant to people’s need for more DAM information today.

A few people and even some companies (whom I have not worked with) actually asked me to stop blogging because I am “…giving too much away…” so I simply keep posting more. Why? Because this is not true. For those who have read my blog posts, I list the questions you should be asking within your organization about Digital Asset Management.

Now I have listed the top 40 most read blog posts from the past four years out of over 155 blog posts to date. I still have over 95 drafted blog posts yet to finish and release when I have free time. I know who my audience is because they communicate with me directly and they suggest ideas for posts. DAM is not about sharing less, otherwise you are missing the point about sharing with your:

• Users
• Groups
• Departments
• Organization
• Community
• Audience

I am not the only DAM blogger. In fact, I am Another DAM blogger and there are thousands of DAM blog readers out there just like you. What are your favorite blog posts from Another DAM blog?
