Interestingly enough, Twitter has a large following other than just Tweeters.  There are a ton of free resources for use, graphics, inteface etc.  Thought I'd share some:

 

  • TweetLister.com - A free olnine Real Estate listing service tied to Twitter which also allows to to schedule automatic tweets of your listing over a period of time. 
  • JustTweetit.com - A great online resource for all thins Twitter including graphics, directory, and much more.
  • Books - Yes, people have written a ton of books on just Twitter.  Click here for a list and order from Barnes & Noble.
  • Twitter Graphics by Randa Clay Design.  'Follow Me' buttons, insight, and more.
  • TweetDeck - Great standalone application that is free and provides for column views of tweets, direct messages, etc. all on one screen.  Plus it adds features to shorten URL's right underneath the Tweet box rather than having to go to another site like www.TinyUrl.com
  • Tweet Pictures with TwitPic - Great site to upod pics and it creates a little URL to Tweet.
  • Search Twitter - Great site to search for Tweets and Tweeters pertiaing to specific topics such as Real Estate. 
  • Celebrity Tweet - Find Celebrities using Twitter
  • Twitter Status - Having issues, find out if there is an outage or issues with the service.
  • Twitter Rank - We all like rankings.  Find out where you rank on Twitter.  My rank is . . . um . . . '0'.  This isn't that great of a site and obviously has it's issues with accuracy but it's an interesting novelty thing. 
  • Twitter Grader - Similar to the site above and on this one I rank 147,000 out of 2M.  Much better site obviously. 
  • Twitter Value - So how much are you 'worth' on Twitter?  Find out.  I'm apparently worth $136.  Location Location Loaction!!!!
  • Widgets -
    • From Twitter which includes HTML for adding into other websites but also easy ways to add the Twitter widget to other sites such as Facebook
    • From Widgetbox for adding onto websites and blogs

And there is a ton more.  Kind of crazy, but fun as well.

This is good information.  I am still trying to get a hand on how to use Twitter.

Technology is crazy and fun, and I'll add addictive. Being brand new to twitter I will check out some of your links. Thanks!

I am still considering whether or not to persue the twitter network. Does anyone have examples of any success as related to growing their real estate business?

You're welcome everyone.  I am fortunate to have a husband that likes playing around with these things and testing them.  He is a manager so he has a great business perepctive to these things as well. 

Jon, I look at it this way that if it somewhere I can gain a bit more exposure with little time and no money so be it.  I primarily use the service to direct people to things such as listings for sale or features on my website.  I have gained traffic from this as well.  Unfortunately I can not say 100% that it has gained me leads or whatnot.  But it's another place to be and with so many people on Twitter it can only help.  I am really liking the new TweetLister service which another place to advertise a listing is always beneficial.  We have what I think is a pretty good advertising plan with listings and Twitter has become a part of that.  My latest success was 6 showings in less than two weeks on a new listing (priced right and not underpriced) and a contract.  Our philosophy is be as many places as possible stategically with great presentation and that's what has worked for me. 

Have fun Tweeting.

Kathy, Your post has a wealth of links that are powerful for using TWITTER. I recommended it for a feature.

I love twitter grader as they get your grade they have the waiting message "off to the races" Cute I got A+ grade 97.6 out of 100. In the summary, it provides the website to my activerain. Terrific! It also gives you the top users by location. I came up as #2 formemorial day Rhode island in the "TWITTER ELITE  by location"

 

 

Remember the true meaning of  MEMORIAL DAY , enjoy this long weekend.

Kathleen (great name by the way), thank you for your recommendation.  I agree about twitter grader compared to the other.  It has a nice interface and is good feedback to get for using the service.  Plus I didn't realize I ranked #12 for my area.  Have a great Memorial day.

TweetDeck is a life saver, I agree! It's amazing how so many third party tools have emerged for this devilishly simple phenomenon. Around Austin, at least, people like to say that Twitter got it's launch at the South By South West tech conferences as a way to see what one's friends and industry peers were up to. I can certainly state that this year's SXSW was integral to the promotion of lesser-known musical acts as well. Simply put, it brings power back to the people (if only to a small extent). Great post.
