New Tool for Twitter Users - Tweeple Pages!

I've been busy lately building a new tool for Twitter. I'm very excited about this and felt like I had to share it with my ActiveRainers. I'm sorry if this seems self-promotional, but this is a FREE tool for Twitter users and can be really powerful for real estate agents. If you're not on Twitter yet head on over to my post Social Media in Real Estate - Part 1: Twitter to find out why you should be on there, signup real quick, then head back here to read about the newest tool for Twitter.

Tweeple Pages It all started with a simple tweet. I asked if there was a site where you could find other Twitter users based on your interests. After a few responses and a search for said site, I realized I needed to develop it myself.

So that day Tweeple Pages was born. Tweeple Pages is a directory of Twitter users organized by their interests. Simply login using your Twitter username and password and start discovering other users with similar interests as you. You can enter your interests in the search bar or use the "Most Popular Interests" cloud to see what the most popular interests out there are.

Most Popular Interests Cloud

So, why would you need this for real estate you might ask?

Well, real estate is about connecting. Whether you're connecting with other agents, buyers, sellers, home inspectors, attorneys, etc. Tweeple Pages lets you easily connect with other real estate professionals, or people who share personal interests, like football.

It doesn't stop at interests either. Let's say your interests include real estate, and your location is "Boston, MA" - well, now someone on the site looking for a real estate agent in Boston, MA will see your profile and follow you! Now a real connection has been made. Maybe they're a fellow real estate agent, or a buyer/seller looking for an agent, either way it's a powerful connection.

So head on over to Tweeple Pages and check it out! Let me know what you think!

Also, I have a challenge for you. The "Most Popular Interest" cloud on the homepage is a real time display of the most popular interests on the site. I'd love to see "ActiveRain" as a top interest, so be sure to put "ActiveRain" as one of your interests! This will also allow all of us ActiveRainers to follow eachother on Twitter!

Will check this out - looks interesting and necessary. @thekencook

James...

What will they think of next. Tweeple Pages. I thought my TWOAR was bad. Ain't nothing compared to the Tweeple :)

TLW...ROAR!

Technology is growing so quickly, I feel like a TWIT. Thanks for keeping us updated.

OK I joined. It seems pretty cool, but if my acct gets hacked I will hunt you down. :p

Ken - thanks! Following you now.

TLW - I love all the Twitter slang out there. Check out http://twitter.pbwiki.com/Twitter+Glossary for a list of all twords.

Mark - technology is growing quickly. Doing my best to keep everyone up to date!

Lesley - you'll never find me! ;) Actually, we don't story passwords for obvious reasons. I'd love to hear your thoughts regarding Twitter passwords / security here: http://getsatisfaction.com/tweeplepages/topics/what_does_it_take_for_you_to_enter_your_twitter_password

Ok, heading there now, I signed up for twitter but havent used it to much, however this might be an incentive, thanks for that! and will let you know how it goes

Jesse - you're going to love Twitter! Tweeple Pages will help you find other real estate professionals.

James,

Thanks! I just signed up...what a great and EASY to use tool!! You rock :-)

Just entered in some info Thanks for this!!

James: Thanks! Done.

Excellent! I've been wondering if this sort of thing existed. Thanks for building it! (And remember... because you built it, they will come. I did!)

Really cool tool! Already signed up - this was one of my frustrations as a new Twitter user - how to find people that would really add value when I followed them. Thanks!

P.S. Our twitter name is HburgHomes -- please follow us!

James I have joined your site and congrats on coming up with a pretty cool idea. Kudos to you and happy tweeting!

Looks like there's some new names to add to our twitter compendium. Good article about Tweeple James. It is a handy tool that we recommend people use to find like minded individuals in a specific area. Congratulations on the feature!

Thank you so much, being a Tweet Novice I am understanding a little better.

Sounds like this is a great tool to help us build our Twitter network. I'll take a look this afternoon.

Thanks for spending the time to create this! You can find people through Twellow but you can't find like-minded people whose name you don't know. Great!

Sounds like a great feature but wen I try to join it will not take my password. Any help?

Thanks

Tony

James- Okay, just joined and put Active Rain as top interest

Great idea! Can't wait to get going with it!

Great idea James. I joined and am now following more realtors. Very powerful tool. All of a sudden I am in contact with realtors all over North America, providing them with a referral source if they know anyone moving up to Toronto.

Excellent job James. Thanks!!

James, great ideas here. I hadn't heard of Tweeple Pages and I'm trying to get more into Twitter. Gotta check it out.

Thanks! Ive signed in and added the ones interested in active rain.

Wow, this is going to take me more than a few minutes to absorb and put into practice. Thanks so much for all the useful information.

Hi James!
Yep...I went back to log into Twitter...then went back to your site. I could get into Twitter, but not Tweeple. Any suggestions?

WAIT! I just went back and tried again...it worked! Thanks!

Awesome, James! I will have to check out Tweeple!

Very cool! Signing up right now!

That was easy! Now if you can help me get it on my phone you will be a genius!

Technology is so important to networking, particularly during slow time, so your insights are great. Keep us abreast of new and innovative ways to connect.

Awesome! Thanks for giving this away! Come join me in "New Market Leaders" on the Rain (I'll send you the invite) - this would be an awesome post for that group! I guess I could reblog it, right? Always something new to figure out! *sigh*

This is a great idea. Heading over to check it out. Thanks for letting us in on the secret.

Steve - I'm here to help!

Mary - joined! Thanks for reblogging!

Jeff - thanks! Hope you enjoy the site.

Lee - thanks! The glossary has some interesting and fun terms in it.

That is pretty cool James. I like that Twitter is so open to 3rd party programs. It was a bugger when the Twitter search function was down for that month or two near the end of December and January. I will have to check your Tweeple Pages out.
