In this time of financial crisis, the Federal Reserve has unveiled a fun, new way to make sure youth (and those not-so-youthful, too!) understand how the U.S. banking system works. The new online trivia game, called FedClue, has eight mini-cases that explain the Fed’s mission, tools, and responsibilities. Follow this link to try it out!

Social networking sites are gaining traction in the private and public sector as tools to stay in touch with colleagues and customers. In the last couple of months, there’s been a lot of buzz around Twitter, a micro-blogging social networking site that lets users inform others about their every move. It seems like everyone is using it:
- President-elect Obama used the tool to update his supporters during his campaign,
- friends and colleagues “tweet” constantly on everything from important meetings to their eating and shopping habits,
- books and movies are promoted using the tool, and
- event-happenings, businesses news, and even the National Debt are updated in real-time.
Gene Weingarten even satirized Twitter in this column for the Washington Post magazine!
So, are you interested in Twitter? If you are interested in seeing if there are any “tweets” about you, try searching for your company name on the site now.
