We're experiencing a massive shift in consumer behavior right now with the explosion of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other community collaboration and social media platforms.

It’s not every day that you see banking security reported in a tabloid read by 2.7 million people across the UK, but The Sun’s interest in data theft highlights just how mainstream the topic has become. We are just a month from Christmas, and one of the most popular presents of the festive season, Microsoft’s X Box LIVE, has been targeted by crimin...

Bankers often talk about the 'trust' consumers have in banking as a defining characteristic of why customers give banks their money instead of simply keeping it under a mattress.

Without thinking consciously about it, over time core behaviors change producing different instinctive reactions. When a phone rings today, we go to our pocket or purse, not running to a device on a desk or on the wall. When we are interacting with a mobile phone that is not our own or an ATM machine, we'll instinctively touch the screen to naviga...
