The Best Test Is A Live Test In Real World Settings.
As Teresa Boardman so kindly pointed out at The Real Estate Weenie, I jumped back on Twitter last night.
I had decided to stop using Twitter and last night someone I would not have expected to be using Twitter decided to "follow me" there. I couldn't resist. I had to see what they were tweeting about. And that was all it took. It appears the RE.net on Twitter has expanded... and I'm easy.
The next thing you know I'm following a link here and a link there and I was enjoying myself. And learning. That's a powerful combination in my book. Before I knew it, I'm telling Dustin Luther that I'd Twitter the NAR Convention with him.
So, this morning I get up and visit Twitter and what do I find? I find a simple comment from NRVLiving to Daniel Rothamel at Real Estate Zebra... "REZebra: how are you liking Utterz?"
What The Heck Is Utterz?
What I found was quite unique. It's a social networking site (with what appears to be less than 500 members) that allows you to create "posts" via your cell phone, then email photos, text and video to marry them into one "Utterance" or "utterz." I couldn't resist giving Utterz it a try. I have to admit, I was surprised by how much I liked it. They provide post widgets, like the one below, or sidebar widgets, like the one now in my sidebar. And they also provide automated posting to Tumblr, Wordpress.com or .org, Twitter, Blogger, LiveJournal and TypePad. This can be done universally (post to all) or selectively, allowing you to decide which of your utterz goes where.
Since the first tests went so well, I'm going to give it a thorough workout... at the 2007 REALTORS® Conference & Expo in Las Vegas. So, I'll be posting about the people, the booths, the conference sessions and the parties I attend. I think the ability to marry the sites and sounds will be very interesting. If you want to follow along, you will be able to see the updates in the sidebar on this blog, directly at the ResPres Utterz account, via my twitter feed, or at a new Wordpress.com blog I set up just for this test NAR Updates at http://narupdates.wordpress.com. If it goes well, I'll do the same at Inman's Real Estate Connect NYC 2008 in January.
So, this is a test. But it should be a fun test, so follow along.
