If You Tweet, What's Your Twitter? (A Repository for AR Users on Twitter - Leave Yours)

By
Real Estate Technology with Content, coding, marketing, host.

Do you want to be more recognizable, more popular, more read, more noticed than you have been to date? Want to meet more people in the biz? Want to alert more people to your AR postings?

Sometime earlier in life, things change so quickly in the economic realm I cannot recall if it was this year or last, I looked at something called "Twitter". Then I re-looked. Ever re-look? I relooked just last week.

On Twitter I find many AR friends and many new friends but I want to be able to find all of the AR users who also use Twitter. Haven't used Twitter? Try this link for my Twitter. Once you get there go ahead and sign up.

The trick to Twitter is getting your thoughts out in 140 characters. Sometimes it is more difficult than you may think ... especially if you are in the 50 and over crowd where everything must be grammatically proper. Or at least close!

Posting links in Twitter uses up too many of your characters so the big hiccup is making your links short(er). Long before I knew of Twitter I knew of TinyURL.com and if you Tweet you'll need it. For example I changed the URL http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/02/mckinney-accuses-gov ernment-slaughtering-prisoners-dumping-bodies-katrina/ to become http://tinyurl.com/3snf2z - and that's a big difference.

Join me on Twitter and you'll find a large number of your AR friends plus meet many more.

Please do not contact me for LENDING or MORTGAGE questions but rather contact a licensed mortgage professional from your area.

Jeanetta - thanks! Glad to meet you @thekencook

Craig - perfect example. We have been AR contacts for probably 2 years and I didn't know you were a Tweeter.

Kristin - welcome to Twitter and thanks for stopping by!

I am still trying to discern the point of Twitter other than a place to inform folks when I am gargling, but I'm there.  My ID is a clever one indeed:  paulslaybaugh

John - Twitter is a great piece in the puzzle. We're already on!

Paul - I find Twitter to be a down and dirty glimpse into the day of others, an on the spot news source with Fox, CNN, CNBC, Sarah Palin, Senator Obama and etcetera having accounts. We are now co-Tweeters

It doesn't seem like two years, does it? I recently changed my twitter name to @craig42k. It's more me than just a city name.
