Pope2You

The Pope is up with technology. Yes, THE Pope Benedict XVI himself. First he created the Vatican YouTube channel this past January in an effort to "help establish relationships with Catholics from around the world".

Now he's on Facebook and he's looking for friends - and this after warning that while Facebook and other social media sites give us a way to foster friendships and understanding it also "can isolate people and marginalize others".

Visit the Pope online and get the Facebook application.

I think the Pope and the Vatican are quite progressive. They are thinking outside of the box as they try news way to bring followers back to the fold.

Banks Tweet & Post

Bank of America and Wells Fargo are just a couple of the big banks that have adopted twitter for customer service. The word is they are still working on how to do it efficiently and frequently, but they have some forward thinking people who are giving it a good shot.

Citigroup is on facebook. I heard on NECN that their last post was February 23rd though. I bet that since the television news report this morning that someone from a more local branch (as in state-side) will update it and I don't think canceling the account is a good idea for them. Here's the clip:



As for me, I'm so busy I usually forget to blog, tweet and update my facebook. So who am I to talk?
