I think you are absolutely correct about a few leading banks being ahead of the curve. I'm looking forward to seeing how things have progressed as next years conferences roll around.Kevin P.

I too speak in the banking industry, primarily at state associations, talking about social media and online marketing and finding that the community banks that I speak to are "starting to get it" but there are some very progressive folks in the industry leading the charge.<br /><br />I just subscribed to your RSS feed and am looking forward to reading future posts from you. Of course, it was a "twitter stream" that brought me here. Good stuff...Eric Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367069544154159787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6375840688950976883.post-21011756833894158162010-10-15T14:35:53.176-04:002010-10-15T14:35:53.176-04:00Thanks for the comments.

With that said, Bruce pointed out that the individual staff members are active. The report measured Linkedin connections in addition to Facebook and Twitter. I would imagine that client side bankers are extremely active on Linkedin which could be the main driver.Ivan Frankhttp://www.fluencymedia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6375840688950976883.post-78522838185449265562010-10-07T14:24:45.751-04:002010-10-07T14:24:45.751-04:00I believe that the "volume" comes from p...I believe that the "volume" comes from pockets of staff within the bank...marketers, investment reps, mortgage lenders, etc. are more than likely heavier users. Banks,in general, are still taking a "wait and see and how do we stay compliant" approach that will soon leave them entirely disconnect (at the company level) from the GenY group. The young staff and the areas mentioned previously will be the only savior!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6375840688950976883.post-72989531285545361532010-10-07T14:10:05.640-04:002010-10-07T14:10:05.640-04:00Mr. Lynch, I find this interesting as well.

Our bank, a small community bank in Kentucky, has both a Facebook and Twitter account, and we post important financial facts and local bank news, but we are not using social media to its full potential. I think many banks are like us, other banks are using Social Media, so we should too.Michael Hatfieldhttp://www.forchtbank.comnoreply@blogger.com
