The Informed Executive takes an in-depth view of the Yudu Media digital publishing systems, including the entry-level free.yudu.com service. Targeted originally at the private user, very small businesses and community groups, this allows users to publish audio clips, podcasts and photos, in addition to publishing documents without charge.
