In honor of tonight’s finextra NY Tweetup (for those of you that don’t know, a “Tweetup” is an organized or impromptu gathering of people that use Twitter) at CONCRETE on West 37th Street (between 8th and 9th Ave) at 7pm, and ahead of tomorrow’s Social Media Days, we wanted to highlight those financial services industry tweeters who have gone the extra mile to come up with a creative username.

The use of social media in financial services can be a complicated undertaking, however we applaud those firms who have been able to strike the delicate balance between a functional straight forward username and one with a little creative flair. We encourage any banking and financial services participants interested in social media to attend both events for a chance to network and learn more about the effective use of social media in your industry.
