Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The Burst.” Here are some important notes about this episode:

Q&A: Does the company you work for use Twitter?
Banktastic’s own Community Manager asked a question recently to learn more about Twitter usage among our members’ companies. We got a lot of varying responses where people ran their company’s twitter, only used a personal one, or had none at all.

I personally think that each company should give Twitter a solid chance. Aside from the fact that it’s free to use and connects you with an enormous audience, it’s a great way to put a personal touch on your brand. You get to communicate on a very casual (and fun) level with your customers with Twitter. Handle customer satisfaction issues, troubleshooting, promote new products or services - use Twitter anyway you want for your company. Seriously, give it a shot.
