We thought it would be fun to share with you all how things went down on April 29 with covering FinovateStartup 2008. There were a lot of things we were able to do that other people covering the event weren’t able to. We reviewed, we interviewed, we invited guests to join us, and we brought it all live to you throughout the day. We hope you enjoyed our coverage, so feel free to watch our “casual Friday” discussion on how it went!
Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The Burst.” Here are some important notes about this episode:
Complete FinovateStartup Coverage
One more mention of FinovateStartup, and we’ll move on, we swear! We’d like to thank everyone who’s watched our interviews, viewed our episodes or read our reviews online. A week after the event, and our coverage has generated roughly 9,000 views! We were really glad to be able to cover the event and bring you the content as quickly as we did. It was a bit chaotic, but it definitely paid off. We hope you enjoyed it!
Banktastic Article: Innovation - The Growth Accelerator
One article that piqued Brad’s interest recently on Banktastic was one he posted entitled “Innovation - The Growth Accelerator.” The article basically talks about how innovation makes a creative environment in the banking industry.

Private Messaging on Banktastic - We need your input!
Last week, we launched private messaging on Banktastic, and we’re in need of your feedback. As the system is right now, you’re allowed to message and be messaged only by your friends. The Banktastics are considering changing this so that you can send and receive messages from any Banktastic community member.

We really need your input, so please don’t hesitate to tell us!
