Thanks for checking out the first episode of BanktasticTV’s “I Know Y.” Here are some important notes about this episode:
Internet Usage
For this episode, I was able to interview some great high school students while they were playing at a local game venue. My focus for this episode was to get some insight into how they use the internet. Facebook vs. Myspace, do they use Twitter, and a few more. The answers might surprise you, so check it out!

News: Southwest joins the Cashless Airlines Move
Southwest Airlines is the latest airline to announce that it will no longer accept cash on its flights. The usual free snacks and beverages will still be there, but the items they charge for, like cocktails and energy drinks, can only be paid for with credit & debit cards as well as drink coupons. This may cause an issue for those that haven’t adopted credit or debit cards into their wallets yet.
Q&A: Would you use a Twitter clone inside of your FI? J.B. D. recently asked the Banktastic community if we’d use a Twitter-like program inside our FIs for communication? Would something like Twitter or other networking applications be useful in your FI? Get the conversation going - share your thoughts!
News: HSBC Could Order 200,000 iPhones
Brad shared an article recently on Banktastic that discussed how HSBC is considering dropping the BlackBerry and picking up iPhones instead for its staff. This shows the significant impact that the iPhone has had on our mobile technology for a bank of this size to completely switch from the mainstream BlackBerry to the iPhone.
Brad Heading to San Antonio
Brad’s going to be speaking several times this weekend in San Antonio for the Texas Credit Union League. We wish him the best of luck on his several day trip and on his presentations!

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.
