27 Comments on What I learned on Twitter
Good point. I am glad you got the hang of it. I joined several years ago and just haven't found it that alluring.
I have not done Twitter and will look into it. Thanks,
I need to get into twitter more, and for sure remember the number #1 rule "Not to much business , Have fun"
Well said, Lexa. So many of our blogs focus on how social media has to remain social. We experience a lot of agents who are worried about appearing unprofessional in their online image. This is understandable, but it's also important to loosen up a bit and have some fun with it. That's the way to get the interaction that you want to be having. Thanks for the reminder!
Social media only fails us when we leave out the social. - So true!
I joined Twitter years ago and followed the entire Balloon Boy fiasco in real time. Amazing to see how fast people came up with explanations, jokes, and the very next day there was a video game. Ooo....Kay.........
I realize most business sites are simply re-tweeting each other's press releases and links to other lead capture or "pay to play" sites.
Still it's a quick way to get a reading on the PULSE of recent events - what people generally think about it.
This is great info, I've always wanted to know how to best utilize Twitter.
Lexa, we have to keep the "social" in social media. If all we do is plug our business and post listings, who's gonna want to see that?
Lexa I think many people have been successful using Twitter to generate business because they dont talk about it all the time everyday. You can mention it every now and then. But just don't over do. People have to remember its "SOCIAL" MEDIA. Share not Spam. There is a big difference. Thank you for the remainder.
I have a twitter account but have not used it in my RE business yet. I used it frequently when I was in another line of work but found it to be more hassle than it's worth. Lately I've been reading my twitter stream more often and finding interesting articles. So maybe its more worthwhile than I give it credit for.
Good Morning Lexa
Have had twitter account. Took me a while to comprehend getting a message out in 150 characters. Thank God for bitly and tinyurl. I'm still learning. Have a great day
Hi Lexa. I have around 2,000 followers on Twitter. I haven't gotten one lead from it. I just don't get it...
Lexa, this is a very good point. I get kind of bored with it because I see the same thing over and over again every day.
I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with doing something just for google juice. I really don't care for google+ but it has major google joice so I do it. Same with twitter. If i weren't juicing I wouldn't be tweeting. Although I love their logo
Hi Lexa. I've not gotten the idea of Twitter at all. It's there, I have an account, but who really cars what I'm doing or where I am all the time? Conversely, it seem a lot of people who do Tweet regularly regret they did...
To each their own.

Lexa, I really enjoy the info I get from my Twitter account, yet I go in and out of posting. I need to be more consistent with it. Thanks.
I joined twitter but never used it. I check out facebook because most people I know are on facebook, but your post makes me want to check it out to see what I'm missiong. Thanks!
Great post, I definitely think that all the social media platfomrs out there have their strengths - while Twitter is not one I am able to really utilize to it's full extent, I do agree with everything you said in your post.
