Latest Global Stats – Twitter in Financial Services (1,560 Accounts, 72 Countries)

VBTW-VideoComments-October2011I believe the financial services industry worldwide was lacking of a comprehensive benchmark on social media activity on more and more popular online communities like facebook or twitter.

This is precisely why back in early 2009 me and my team at Visible Banking started tracking the social media presence of banks, insurance, investment firms and more widely financial services firms all over the world.

I am delighted to announce that, as of 1st October 2011, my team was tracking a cumulative 2,738,148 followers from 1,560 twitter accounts in 72 countries (source: the Visible Banking Twitter Watch series).
