WHEN I first saw this on JustSystems’ website earlier in the week, I wondered why they didn’t provide a way for me to grab and embed it on this site. It looked to me like an obvious opportunity for them to get some free publicity.
Fortunately, someone had the smarts — their PR firm, I think — to create a YouTube video of their attempt to explain XBRL in Plain English. That means I can now embed it here in all its grainy glory rather than just send you to their website, which I suggest you do anyway because the video quality is much better there.
I’m not sure how “plain” the explanation is. To be honest, I dozed off halfway through. But judge for yourself. By the way, “grab rates” are an important new metric for web content, as we explain in one of the stories in our latest issue of Online IR Trends.
IRWebReport.com was founded by Dominic Jones in February 2001 to promote best practices for online investor relations communications. All articles on IR Web Report are unpaid editorial. If we write about any company with which we have a business relationship — either directly through sponsorship, or indirectly through consulting services — we fully disclose the relationship in the article itself. Sponsors are identified as such in the right sidebar. Anyone is able to see our sponsorship fees. Without sponsors, we would not be able to continue publishing on a regular schedule.
