I would be interested in knowing how many real estate professionals use Twitter in their business, and if

real estate consumers find Twitter useful in the real estate buying and selling process. http://www.twitter.com/joespake

Hey Joe
It seems like the connectivity world is getting diluted with blogs and spaces to communicate. There are only a few that offer places where both Realtors and buyers/sellers can meet..and Trulia is a good one as well as Active Rain and a couple of others. I had checked out Twitter and it doesn't seem to be the place for Realtors except in your spare time??

Hey Joe Joe,

I am with Jason! I am not that hi-tech and have better use of my limited time other than something that really doesn't seem to be effective. It is not for me at all!! I have a team that scouts out where they feel my best fit is. They are always right on the money, regarding media, internet exposure, blogging, etc. They hated Twitter. That might be too strong, strongly disliked it.

Take care Joe,

Jo

Hey Joe! I would be interested in that information too. I have not seen where Twitter would be useful in recruiting buyers and sellers. Many times when I try to log on the system is full. It also appears that it is really desgined as a connectivity tool for many uses other than real estate. As a great source for sending a mass update of what would be newsworthy, unforuntately at this time I have no subscribers. Therefore I'll be sticking with my blog, website and newsletter for now.

FIRST ANSWER

While I love, thrive on, constantly search for and apply every piece of technology I can find, I can't find anything useful and sensible from Twitter. Seems like a good techy play toy, but not too good on real estate applications.
