Thanks for checking out the first episode of BanktasticTV’s “I Know Y.” Here are some important notes about this episode:

All Things College
In this episode, I took to the local university to get some insight into how students are paying for college in this tough economic time. I wanted to see how the financial pinch is affecting them and how they’re handling the rising cost of higher education. It was a lot of fun meeting these students and hearing their responses.

The Burst - Cloned Money (Ep. 28)

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

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

News: ATM Dispenses Double the Money Requested
A group of very lucky people in Scotland recently stumbled upon extra cash without even trying! An ATM belonging to Alliance & Leicester bank started dispensing double the money that was deducted from people’s accounts. This made for a frenzy that lasted about 30 minutes before the bank caught on and shut down the ATM. They lost several thousand pounds in that time period, but are considering asking that the money lost be returned.

Random News: Dog Clones!
We decided to take a detour for a moment to discuss something that Brad & I found interesting. A woman had a late pitbull of hers cloned and received the 5 puppy clones this past Tuesday. Apparently you, too, can clone your favorite pet for just $150,000. We justify this article in the episode above. Seriously.

News: Obopay an Grameen Team on Mobile Banking Initiative
Brad shared an article about Obopay & Grameen partnering up. The two are working to to provide banking services to a billion of the world’s poorest people by 2018. Here’s a quote from Finextra’s writeup on this partnership:

“Obopay and Grameen Solutions - the tech unit of the microfinance organisation - say the Bank A Billion initiative will provide access to financial services, including cross-border remittances, money transfer, payments, savings and credit accounts.”

This is a great initiative, and we look forward to watching it pan out!

New Feature: Become a Fan of Vendors
We know you might not always be able to provide a review for a vendor or its products, so we’ve given you the option to simply become a fan of a company! It’s really easy to get started, so head on over to the Vendors section and start getting your fan on.
