I liked this innovative approach to showcasing the root fundamentals of the economic theories of Hayek and Keynes. I was also impressed that they shot the video for this on a Canon 7D digital SLR. Give it a look, it'll take you back to all the good memories you have of college econ lectures.

With so many users turning to the Internet for their banking activities, it's disappointing how few small banks and credit unions offer customers a live chat communication channel on their public facing websites. Live chat results in significant cost savings versus telephone support. Live chat also increases a bank or credit union's ability to convert visitors into new customers. Given these and other benefits, I'm consistently surprised at the two reasons managers most commonly give for not implementing live chat.
