Melina,

This is hilarious, "May we all remember that just because we can put a listing somewhere it doesn't mean that we should."

I don't actively list properties, but even when I did, the idea of promoting individual properties always seemed like pandering to the homeowner.  Don't most buyers simply want to have access to the MLS to see ALL of the properties?

LMAO Melina.  Very nice.  Guilty as charged w/r/t Twitter, but I use FB for more personal communication and I don't spam anyone.

Mark-you know I talk with my clients about why I put their listings where I do.  I want to bring buyers in, not turn them off.  Buyers want to be able to search when it is convienent for them.  Twitter is not a good search engine for homes, nor is facebook.

Charles-I don't think that you are the agent spamming me...

Oh TLW-I had to unfollow a few agents today who kept tweeting the same listings over and over again?  Either they don't realize that I don't serve buyers in their town, far, far away... or they don't know that I know how to hit the search button in the MLS. I got on an agent's email list somehow and she has no unsubscribe button.  I've never even met her..

BB-Well does that mean I kicked out the other irritating song that you can't get out of your head?  I'm always happy to help...

That's it Erik, I'm going to have to unfollow you   :(

I had my blog feed into my FB page and I hated how spammy it felt to me, so I set up my business page and my blog feeds into that now.

Cindy are you saying I was drinking while I was blogging? :)

Betty isn't not that you can't do it.  It's just that some agents only promote their listings and have no interation with people.

Oh Marchel me too...I don't know why agents think I will click through a read a flyer that has less information than the MLS listing does.

Melina,

That was clever. I was following it trying to figure the outcome, and it was like a good suspence. Thanks for the chuckle

Very clever I saw a SPAM display (the edible kind) at the Ohio State Fair on Saturday..... a very agricultural event right in the city of Columbus....  E-I-E-I-O  

I have pictures of SPAM now... the edible kind.  Or actually SPAM stuff, a SPAM T-shirt.  A special SPAM container.  A SPAM beach ball....

Jon I'm still jealous of your beach look...

Maureen-I have a friend that just wrote on FB about the spam cooking contest in her state.  That stuff is so nasty.

Mike it's pretty bad when I'm unfollowing fellow agents due to their listing spam...

I thought of Melina's song at REBarcamp last week when a few tried to gently observe that these tools (Twitter, Facebook, etc.)  should not be used to make us better RE spammers. 

Or the best use of the tools wasn't for  spamming.

Maureen I was hoping for a video banjo version of you singing it...:)

Now that would be memorable...

I don't have enough followers for it to be spam!  I'm more likely to use Twitter to announce an open house.  Sigh.  Guess I'm guilty!

Too cute!!  Thanks for the chuckle while enjoying my coffee this morning!  I will have to see if I can get my feed set up to my Facebook Page also.  I dislike the flyers as well.  They fill up my inbox and then when someone tries to email me an offer, they have to call for my home office email.

Mel I never understood the flyers. I can search the MLS with ease.

Melina - Very funny and I'm too going to probably have that song stuck in my head.  While I don't list properties, I do get spammed a lot by Realtors who send me their listings.
