The Banktastics also got together to discuss openly our new private messaging feature on Banktastic.com. We really appreciate the feedback we’ve gotten so far about whether or not to make messaging completely open. We wanted to take a few minutes and share with you our own personal thoughts on the messaging system we’ve implemented.
Watch the video and let us know your thoughts on the private messaging system on Banktastic!
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. If you feel that the system should be completely open, or if you’d prefer it stay semi-closed, please let us know what you’d like by commenting on this blog post. We really need your input, so please don’t hesitate to tell us!

The Banktastics have been hard at work at bringing some great new features to our community, and we’ve just released the best set yet! We’d like to introduce our new private messaging system on Banktastic!
We setup this system to encourage communication with one another on Banktastic. If you want to start a conversation with someone or ask them a direct question, just simply click the “Send Message” button on their profile to get started! You will be notified by email when you receive a new private message on Banktastic. You’ll also be able to see a list of your new messages on your Dashboard and on your own profile page. So if you’d ever like to opt out of receiving email notifications of new messages, you can edit your profile and uncheck the box marked “Notify me when someone sends me a private message.” You’ll still be able to see your messages when you login.
In addition to the private messaging system, we’ve added a lot of helpful information to the site. For those a little unsure of everything you can do on Banktastic, we’ve added a visual tour page. Here you can browse through different sections of Banktastic and read up on what each page is all about. This is really helpful for new members or current members who haven’t gotten a chance to explore the site.
We’ve also included a really great help page for when you get in a bind on Banktastic. If you ever find a bug or just need some assistance, feel free to visit the help page and contact one of the Banktastics.
Let us know what you think of the new private messaging and other features! Also, if you ever have an idea that would make Banktastic better, feel free to shoot us an email at lisa@banktastic.com. We look forward to your input!
