It seems that every corner of the financial services industry is starting to make use of social media. Advisers that are into foreign-exchange trading, take note: dbFX, Deutsche Bank AG's online trading platform announced today that it is using social-networking sites — including Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn — to make it easier to connect with them and others interested in the sector. A visit to the dbFX Twitter page this morning revealed that after a mere 20 tweets, the site had already garnered 147 followers (Twitter speak for subscribers). The page provides ‘tweet' updates on market information, news, announcements of upcoming training webinars and seminars. DBFX has also made use of YouTube by uploading 13 video tutorials for those who have been too shy to try out the platform. Online analysis firm comScore Inc.'s latest statistics show that YouTube and Twitter are receiving over 20 million and 3 million unique visitors, respectively, every month.
