For those of you who have not yet joined the bandwagon of Social Networking, let me just tell you that you are falling behind the times. If you don't think people are using sites such as Facebook to connect, reconnect, and facilitate conversation, you are sadly mistaken.
Facebook is the fourth most trafficked website in the world. There are over 100 million active Facebook users, including myself. There are over 55,000 regional, work related, collegiate, and high school networks to help you get re-acquainted or networked. Facebook is the number one photo sharing application on the web, and has more than 30 million new photos uploaded daily. Just recently my broker learned how to post a listing to the marketplace.
Granted, Facebook is mainly a socially oriented site, but there are reasons to be on it, and it can be utilized to market yourself and your business. You can host conversations between yourself and everyone you know. As stated above, you can share listings, photos, news about the local real estate market, events, etc. All of these things can be updated to everyone you are connected with in real-time.
I know that I just recently signed on and have a lot to learn about Facebook, but I am not going to be left in the dust when it comes to social networking. If you haven't checked out Facebook yet, I recommend starting up an account immediately. Perhaps I will see you there!
Like they say on their website, "Facebook helps you share and connect with the people in your life." So, "Sign Up, It's free and anyone can join."
