5 Comments on The Recession to Kill Tech Companies, Ideas, Microblogging (aka Twitter) etc etc--A Prediction of What's to Come in 2009...

The day I have my tweeting controlled is a sad day

I see some nice benefits on twitter. The great majority of people I interact with on there are locals. Granted my time on twitter has not produced any revenue but I do answer a lot of real estate related questions. Plus if I ever want a quick review on a Kansas City restaurant I can always ask the people on twitter. But then again Twitter does have the social media curse. Like many sites once they go mainstream they lose some of their charm. From that standpoint stick a fork in Twitter it's done.
I have still yet to figure out the net benefit of Twitter. It is lovely to say that I have 500 people following my every move, but I really only care about increasing my business. I can have 10,000 people following me, but if I am not getting any business from it, it is merely a branding source. That is my position at this time, so I am fine with the branding, but when I get a call from a twitter for a listing or to buy a home, I MAY change my mind.....though I will need more than one to change my mind.
Shane,
To ask the question [ what is the value of Twitter as it pertains to real estate ] is the same thing as saying I see no value to it.
I on the other hand have made the decision to actively pursue Twitter as a marketing concept. I have already had success on a small scale using a couple of small tests. It is time to begin the big push.
I think "followers," "friends," and even "points," "associates," and "subscribers" at ActiveRain is a way for people to feel good about themselves, and I'm all for people feeling good about themselves. Happy, shiny people make the world go round in a more positive direction. I'm generally not such a person, but I recognize that it can be fun for some. I'm more of a fuddy duddy who just wants good information to help me in my personal and business life, and followers, friends, points, associats, and subscribers generally do not do that directly. There can be some indirect benefit, of course.
