How important is Twitter ?

Real Estate Agent with Realty Executives

Original content by James Wexler

Our primary goal (I think) as Real Estate agents and Industry porfessional is to use the variety of the Web 2.0 social media to connect with consumers. 

There is a vast array of choices and platforms including (and not limited to) twitter and microblogging

  • static custom web site with IDX feeds
  • Worpress and other free blog products
  • customized blogs within sites
  • Facebook
  • MySpace
  • LinkedIn
  • Wikepedia and YouTube pages
  • Mybloglog  and,... many many many more

The fastest growing and arguably the most important right now (who knows tomorrow- its the Internet and things change quickly) is

 micro-blogging and the platforms like Twitter.

Log in, try it. Very cool.

You can listen to the online conversation and the the chatter of clients and peers and responed in (almost) real time. 180 characters maximum; so make it short and  sweet.

 twitter and microblogging

Big companies like Zappos and even the new AZ FlexMLS listen closely and anytime either company is mentioned a representative responds quickly. Very Quickly.

Twitter and its followers who  eat, sleep , 'Tweet' (Tweets are what Twitter posts are called) are loyal almost fanatical. Right up my alley, I love them.

Proponents call Twitter and micro-blogging the next phase the future of on-line speak.

Today Everyone is a journalist.

Often, Today's News is posted as 'Tweets' well before it hits news wires.

The question I have for my fellow real estate and mortgage professionals who are eager to participate by listening and what we all love to do , Talking, or Tweeting is

  •  
    •   How important is Twitter as a tool to connect with the consumer?

I am active on it. Not sure why. Who cares , I love it.     However, ...

  • Is it a good way to spend your time (besides social reasons)
  • If so why?

Thanks and look forward to 'Tweeting' with you...
