Google + Tweets+ Local Info = BUSINESS for me!

By
Real Estate Agent with eRealty Inc.

Google, Tweet and find me faster!

Tweet, tweet says I!  If you'd like to propose real time information to your clients, potential buyers and sellers or just reach out to folks who haven't embraced all that the social media world offers...your words will now reach people faster than ever.

 

Think about someone looking for a Foreclosure in (Your Area)...you can post a specific property and there's a potential that they will see a short Twitter post instead of that blog post, that takes you minutes (or hours for some) to type up.  Quick info, quick response will equal an increased bottom line.

 

THIS IS BIG NEWS!

At Google, our goal is to create the most comprehensive, relevant and fast search in the world. In the past few years, an entirely new type of data has emerged — real-time updates like those on Twitter have appeared not only as a way for people to communicate their thoughts and feelings, but also as an interesting source of data about what is happening right now in regard to a particular topic.

Given this new type of information and its value to search, we are very excited to announce that we have reached an agreement with Twitter to include their updates in our search results. We believe that our search results and user experience will greatly benefit from the inclusion of this up-to-the-minute data, and we look forward to having a product that showcases how tweets can make search better in the coming months. That way, the next time you search for something that can be aided by a real-time observation, say, snow conditions at your favorite ski resort, you'll find tweets from other users who are there and sharing the latest and greatest information.

Very interesting!  My Twitter use has definitely been dwindling over the last few months, so I may need to step it up again.  I'll be interested to read more in a few months about how this is impacting the search at Google.  I hope one of the web gurus here on AR will let us know.  Things are always changing, so thanks for keeping us on the cutting edge!

It should be interesting to see how this plays out. My concern is that it will make search results on Google even more convoluted than ever.  It seems there is aready a bit of a problem with findin relevant results, particularly those that arent' paid for!

The Big Kahuna checked in on his thoughts but I still have to agree that there is so much 'blather & nonsense' out there, how to filter it?  So be it I guess, move with the industry.

There are "holes" in privacy protection that sometimes happen to private tweets, allowing them to be indexed on Google and elsewhere.  Always good to remember the old saying, "Don't put anything in writing that you wouldn't want to see on the front page of the New York Times"

I don't understand Tweets on Google. Maybe I'm reading this too fast, but with the things people tweet I wouldn't want it showing up on google. It would just clog things up. I love staying on top of the social media stuff so I'll keep my eye out.

Quite interesting.  I am curious to see how it affects rankings in Google.  Time will tell.  Technology can be a very useful tool... if used right!

Good Stuff, Erica.  You've motivated me to join Twitter.  I've been on Facebook for a while with some success, but this should be a different experience, I'm sure.
