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

Q&A: Does the company you work for use Twitter?
Banktastic’s own Community Manager asked a question recently to learn more about Twitter usage among our members’ companies. We got a lot of varying responses where people ran their company’s twitter, only used a personal one, or had none at all.

I personally think that each company should give Twitter a solid chance. Aside from the fact that it’s free to use and connects you with an enormous audience, it’s a great way to put a personal touch on your brand. You get to communicate on a very casual (and fun) level with your customers with Twitter. Handle customer satisfaction issues, troubleshooting, promote new products or services - use Twitter anyway you want for your company. Seriously, give it a shot.

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.
