Visible Banking: SOMESSO Zurich 2009 - Video Teaser - Christophe Langlois on Social Media in Finance

Share|

Arjen Strijker, Founder of SOMESSO, invited me to speak at SOMESSO Zurich 2009, his third event since they launched last year in Switzerland. This is going to be the second time I am working with Arjen: earlier this year, I was the moderator of the most interactive session at SOMESSO London 2009.

I am delighted that Arjen invited three of the people I recommended to speak at his event:
* Matthias Kroener, Founder & CEO at Fidor AG - I invite you to watch my recent post on their new service, iBrokr.com, and my interview with Matthias.
* Arnould Moyne, CEO at Finroad.com
* Boris Janek, Online Marketing Manager at VR-NetWorld

I invite you to check my profile page on Visible Banking, connect on Linkedin, and follow me on twitter.

Visible Banking - Unique Insights on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Blogging
I invite you to watch the video teaser I produced to introduce the event and promote my presentation.

Earlier this year, I started to track financial institutions on several popular social media sites. I hope you are already familiar with my Visible Banking Twitter Watch Series (#13 updates so far).

I decided to launch three additional Visible Banking Social Media Watch Series: YouTube, Facebook and Blogs. They are coming soon, stay tuned!

Today, I am tracking 1,293 blogs, twitter accounts, YouTube channels and Facebook pages/groups/apps from financial services firms (banks, central banks, credit unions, insurance companies, credit card issuers, tax and mortgage specialists) in 38 countries.
