You know something has hit it “big time” when Oprah is using and talking about it:

This social network has been a buzz word for some time now.  What separates this Social Network (SocNet) from others is its ability for one person to reach thousands of others in a short period of time.

Pictures, audio and anything else you can point to via a website can be shared on Twitter!

Real estate agents, being the social animals that we are, have jumped on SocNets, and twitter, bandwagon.  In fact, it appears as though the real estate industry as a whole has grasped the power of this particular social network more so than any other industry!

But I’ve Heard…

As with ANY kind of social networking (virtual or in real life), it has it’s detractors!  In fact, we had a post on this a littler earlier:  The Trouble with Twitter.  This link includes a funny video on how “trivial” some of the tweets can be.

The point of any social network is to be able to connect with folks interested in your services and folks whose services you are interested in.

Over at MyTechOpinion.com, NikNik has written a great book called Twitter for Real Estate Twits.  We recommend filling out their form below if you would like to learn how to set up and begin to use twitter for real estate.

Because twitter can be used to drive more traffic to your site, it is a recommended part of our ALG system to generate real estate leads.

And double extra bonus points to ya’ll that got the Peter Gabriel reference at the top of this post!  You’re on your way to making it BIG TIME!    =-)
