Twitter Away!

All of this social networking is amazing to me. I wasn’t sure at first about it but now I have jumped in full force! I even have incorporated this stuff into classes and presentations for the agents that I manage, coach, and train.

I have decided that our society is only going to become more mobile so why not embrace it. I have really become a fan of Facebook and believe there are both social and business benefits that can come from it. But what is this Twitter thing all about?

From what I know about it so far, I compare Twitter to the “Status Update” piece on Facebook. Twitter doesn’t have all of the photos, games, etc. but rather simply tracks what you are doing throughout the day. You can follow anyone you like and they can follow you.

I really don’t think my life is all that exciting and in fact I think it might be quite ordinary. So why would people be interested in my every move? I still haven’t figured that out yet and don’t think they probably really are all that interested. On the other hand, I do find myself to be intrigued by many of the status updates that I read on Facebook.

So why “Tweet” or “Twitter”? One of my colleagues here at Coldwell Banker Burnet shared with me a phone app called Twitterberry that allows you to update both your Facebook and Twitter status’ at the same time from your Blackberry. So I say, why not.

Let me know if you are on Twitter because I would love to follow you.

As you can see from the widget that is on the upper right hand corner of this blog page, you can follow me on Twitter right from NewmansNeighborhood.com. Want to know more about this crazy phenomenon? Check out the Twitter website at www.Twitter.com.

Happy Socializing!
