The CU Scoop - I’m Melting! (Ep. 23)
Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The CU Scoop” featuring Mark McSpadden. Here are some important notes about this episode:
iPhone App Design Toolkit
Thinking about designing an iPhone app for your credit union? Well,
Brent Dixon recently posted a design toolkit for credit unions to use on OpenSourceCU. Go take a look and see what Brent put together!
Coupon Code for Finovate 2008
William Azaroff recently posted that he had a handful of coupon codes for Finovate 2008 on his blog. He has 5 coupon codes available, so go and sign up to get $250 off the cost of the conference. And don’t forget - Mark and I will be at Finovate 2008, and we’re still looking for some guest bloggers. If you’re interested in helping us review Finovate, email lisa@banktastic.com

Hey Mark! Thanks for the shout out! That particular meme of “Social media marketing best practices” was kicked off by Mitch Joel (who Tim McAlpine has introduced at a Canadian CU marketing event), and picked up by Chris Brogan and many others. I am happy to contribute, and pleased you like ‘em! Look forward to meeting you at Finovate!

Morriss,
Wow that comment was fast. You didn’t even give me time to follow the Social Media Best Practice of alerting someone that you have featured them.

That’s because your blog software did it for you. The reason why I included a best practice of letting someone know (the old-fashioned email way), is that some blogging software does not play nice with other blogging software regarding trackbacks. For instance, Wordpress trackbacks don’t show up in some TypePad blogs because they don’t like each other. When you blog about someone else’s blog post manual (email) notification is only really necessary if the trackback doesn’t automatically show up.
