charleneli Comcast improves customer satisfaction, http://bit.ly/RgvSNTwitter credited partly with the improvement. Thanks/congrats @comcastcares
Comcast has sought to transform its customer-service reputation after it tied for worst place in the index in three of the past six years. Comcast uses Twitter to personally interact with customers and field complaints before problems escalate into major issues.
While Twitter isn’t a replacement for phone and e-mail help, it’s one way the company can proactively reach out to its customers, Rick Germano, Comcast’s senior vice president of customer operations, said in an interview.
Thanks Charlene to point this article out. Another good example of how corporations can use twitter in addition to their traditional customer service activities. It is all about being more proactive, identifying and contacting angry customers in a timely manner.

mintdotcom What’s your favorite little financial hack or trick? Add yours to the current (and growing) list at http://www.facebook.com/mint (Please RT)
As I mentioned many times on my blog, Twitter is a great way to drive traffic to your other social media initiatives and increase contribution from your users. Well done to Mint.com which has over 27,000 fans on facebook. So far 36 people shared their favorite financial hack or trick. One of the limits of the facebook pages is that you can’t direct traffic to a specific posted item or wall post…

Another good example of driving traffic to your facebook page via twitter (and hopefully increasing your number of fans!), this time from SEF Credit Union (710 fans so far)
Tips: next time, they should use a short url to enable people to RT their tweet with a comment.

I don’t know if anzmoneymanager found out the reasons behind this peak, but it is worth investigating…

Indeed, twitter is not made to come up with long and comprehensive explanations.

CUTweetTrack Of the preceeding top CUs with “followers” –highest member/follower ratio is @mycucommunity – 5,726 members/551 followers
Great initiative from Roger Conant: if just like me you share an interest in financial institutions on twitter, I invite you to follow @CUTweetTrack which aims to flag every single credit union on twitter.
Quite a lot of credit unions have a very basic page, no branding, with just a few updates: I have already started to add the most active accounts to myVisible Banking Twitter Watch.
