Twitter me This, Twitter me That

If you think Twitter, (the communication platform for nerds), is simply a place to write about “what you are doing right now”, you are missing the proverbial boat.

For real estate, getting in the grove of twittering now will allow you to be years ahead of your competition. Take this time to grow your network of Twitter followers. I have a feeling that we will begin to see great technologies and applications built on the twitter platform that could change the way we market within the real estate industry.
