It Happens Every Time- Can you Relate to this Vine?

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with Howard Hanna Rand Realty License # 49FA1074963

I am getting more into the Vine app lately. A "vine," well done, is a 6 second look into the window of another person's life. Vine is kind of like Instagram meets Twitter in video format. Vines are simply 6 second videos, but you'd be suprised at how well done many are. 

I have a strong belief that the real estate applications are going to become clear as time goes by. 

Can you relate to this? It seems like EVERY time I need to make an important phone call, this happens

I don't get it. I clicked on the link ... and still don't get it.  What am I missing?  I hope you don't say "a brain."  (LOL)!

I agree.  Just try to make a phone call or a text and sure enough, another call or interruption happens!

Hi J P- I have it on my iPhone and did see your short Vine.   I never really knew what to do with itbut I suppose you're right... kind of a cross between a tweet and Instagram.

oh me too.  Happens every single time.  In fact, if business gets slow I just start to make phone calls, it always works.

  Well my saying never too old to learn something new kicks in on this one.  I guess I'm drying up on the Vine as this is the first I've heard of it.  I'll have to ask the grand-kids about it.  They will be able to educate the old Mac Man.

No idea what Vine is, but your reaction to that phone ringing is priceless.  Seems every time I am on the phone with a Short Sale Bank, or in the middle of a very important call with a client, my house phone rings, getting all six handsets around the house, two of which are in my office (one on my desk, one on hubby's) ringing like crazy.  I usually pick mine up and hang up to make it stop.

Good one. Who staged the call?  Your kids or wife or what?  LOL how you look up before it rings.

Too funny.. I don't know about these. I need to see one that makes real sense. I do use the autoawesome features and get compared.. but those have no audio. It is the looping thing that makes everyone nuts watching any of these.. Not sure where all this will lead, but we do amuse ourselves with it all

Yes, but not only does another phone call come in, but then my email dings and my text message twerps, and I get it from all sides. No wonder my apps freeze.

I don't know how you do it, you seem to be signed up for every social media platform. I find it all so distracting. It's great that you can manage it all, not so great for the ADD Realtor (me).

Although I don't have Vine, I love seeing the videos. I agree, some are really well done. It does giive that six-second moment in a life.

Phil, I think you can quit your day job and start your acting career! Your reaction was priceless. Never heard of Vine. Leave it to you to stay on top of the latest in social media. Thanks.
