Please find below my daily top 10 tweets on social media in banking and financial services from the people I am following on Twitter.
I invite you to check the other tweets which didn’t make my post today. I flagged them as favorites on @Visible_Banking.

rshevlin omg. I wrote a blog post (“Do The Math”). first one in six monthshttp://bit.ly/YoM1o
And it is great news. It is a pleasure to read you again. Are you tempted to resume blogging 3-4 times a week? It is an interesting analysis, but what if the 0.5% was made of some of the most ‘influential’ clients? People who fully embrace social media and can reach not only hundreds of followers on twitter, but also thousands of subscribers to their blog or fans on facebook?
And it doesn’t cost much to set up an account on Twitter (it is free) and have someone in your customer support team check it a few times a day. At the same time the same person should listen (search pre-defined key words on twitter), identify the influencers, and start to respond.
Last but not least, we musn’t forget the importance of experimenting. It takes time to earn credibility and trust. It is challenging to build a sizable audience and reach a critical mass of users.
There will be a huge premium to the most experimental financial institutions, the pioneers who started leveraging social media a while ago with the likes of Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Advanta or Rabobank.

Chris_Skinner CEOs don’t like social media … because it’s social!: I heard this quote the other day and loved it, so I’m usi.. http://tinyurl.com/qrnwkc
True, but in banking we have a few social media champions who blog and/or tweet: Peter Aceto, President & CEO at ING Direct Canada, GerdSchenkel, CEO at UBank in Australia, Roel Van Veggel, GM at RaboDirect in Ireland and Greg McAweeney, GM RaboPlus in Australia.

rshevlin @mmpartee re: 1300% growth rate.Impressive. However: Over half of Twitterers tweet less than once every 74 days http://bit.ly/dplnn
It is an interesting piece of information, but I don’t see that as a major issue. Indeed, very few people leave a comment on a blog (when Techcrunch reach 1Million rss feed readers earlier this year, their most commented post had ‘only’ 149 comments) or post content on a social network.

eMarketer Social Networking is not just for large corporations. Small businesses are getting in on the act. http://bit.ly/7OwJq #fb
According to a study by Sage Software and AMI-Partners, more than 260,000 small businesses in the US and Canada employ social networking tactics, too.
The reasons for adopting social networking tactics varied, but the most widespread uses of social media were for responding to customer questions, networking, and reference and educational purposes.
