To Tweet or not to Tweet? That is THE question.
It seems that everyday, I have an agent come into my office and ask a question that has something to do with technology regarding the real estate profession. The majority are just being to look at the options that are available to become a part of, while others are even more far advanced than myself.
However, one of the ever rising question seems to be regarding the infamous "Twitter". Most want to know exactly what Twitter can do for them, and is it just another piece of technology that they have to maintain everyday.
What I can see there are some key reasons why REALTORS should be "tweeting":
- INSTANT- One of the key advantages of Twitter is that it provides instant information to a large audience. You could look at being on a loud speaker to the world. It is more effective than email, because it goes to all of your "followers" where as email will only be delivered to a selected group.
- MOBILE- You can use Twitter to broadcast messages to the world from your computer, your cell phone, or any internet devise.
- VIRAL- If you send out a message and someone likes what you have said, they can immediately send it to their followers. This is a method that information can go viral quickly.
- JOIN IN- When you see a conversation on Twitter that is of interest to you, you can chime in at anytime and no one is offended. So if you are one of those that like to interrupt in conversations, Twitter is the perfect spot for you to hang out!
- BREAKING NEWS- Twitter has tools that can help you search millions of conversations that are being said about certain topics. You can even automate searches to have updates sent to your regularly on topics that are of interest to you.
So with all the advantages, you should at least try it out. While you are out there follow me @TrademarkRE
Can't wait to see you "tweet"!
