The Burst - A Double Dose of Davids (Ep. 16)
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The Burst.” Here are some important notes about this episode:
Have you ever used the word “spondu”?
On a rather silly note, Brad brought up the fact that I use the word “spondu” on occasion. There’s a quite nice example of what the definition is in this video. He wants to know if any of you have ever heard of or used the word…ever. So comment back and let us know. I swear the word is real!
BIG Metrics Demo Account for Banktastic Members
David G. worked out a nice deal with the people from BIG Metrics to get a demo account for Banktastic members to try out. He thought the application was so great that he wanted to share the wealth with everybody else. To find out what BIG Metrics is about and get the demo account information, click here. We’d like to send a huge thank you to David for working this out for us. You rock!
Private Message about Web 2.0
Brad received a nice private message from David A. about technology leaders and their knowledge of Web 2.0. There’s a great discussion to be had on this topic. Do you think that technology leaders know anything about social media, and would it help them at all to know it? Comment back on the blog and let us know what you think.
New Features on Banktastic!
We’ve rolled out a few new features on Banktastic! The first one is a nice little algorithm we’ve setup in all main sections of Banktastic to show you what’s “hot” and what’s “fresh.” Based on community activity, you can see what’s the most popular content out there by clicking “hot”, or check out the latest news, questions or vendor ratings by clicking “fresh.” It’s a great new way to sort content on Banktastic. Check it out!
The other BIG thing we’ve rolled out this week is a groups section that’s not currently available to the public version of Banktastic. We’ve given associations, member groups, credit union leagues and many more the opportunity to use Banktastic as a communication tool to stay in touch between conferences. It’s like a mini-Banktastic all for particular group. An established group can share announcements, post articles, private message anybody within the group, and ask questions all within the privacy of your own group. You have the option of keeping all of your content private, or sharing it openly with the rest of the Banktastic community. It’s a great way to keep your members connected in between events or meetings.
Here’s a little sneak-peek at what a group looks like:
If you’d like more information about groups or are thinking of creating one in Banktastic, please contact brad@banktastic.com or lisa@banktastic.com. We’d be more than happy to setup a webinar to show you all the capabilities of a group on Banktastic.
