Many people are beginning to tinker on how to make it work for themselves. Even news media such as Reuters and the BBC are <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.reportwitters.com\/2008\/05\/19\/finally-the-news-media-wake-up-to-twitter\/\">exploring ways<\/a> to incorporate the tool into their news gathering activities.<\/p>\n<p>For my part, I realize I have to get my &#8220;twitter fingers&#8221; on. It\u2019s not that simple and there\u2019s a learning curve involved. But so far so good. I\u2019m set up on Twitter at \u201ckvdoell.\u201d And I even set it up to drive the \u201ctweets\u201d automatically to a <a title=\"Twitter Feed\" href=\"https:\/\/bhgrealestateblog.com\/twitter\">page <\/a>on our blog. Watching it work was pretty cool! I felt 10 years younger. Maybe twenty. Ok, 25.<\/p>\n<p>At dinner the other night, I pitched a Twitter idea to Kevin B. Were I an agent, I would set up a Twitter account and market it on all my collateral to pick up a following. Then, whenever a new hot property came on the market, or an interesting bit of real estate news hit, I would send a &#8220;Tweet&#8221; to alert everyone and start a little buzz going.<\/p>\n<p>I imagine, there are any number of people you could get on board with this slick little marketing platform. Besides those people in your sphere of influence who consider real estate as sport, think of all the service providers who would love that real time intelligence?<\/p>\n<p>Sounds good in theory, but what would the street say? <a title=\"Do You Twitter?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s.aspx?sm=6HCxK4ZCLH1NILe4F5a1jQ_3d_3d\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bhgrecareer.com\/bebetterblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2008\/05\/survey_button.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Survey Button\" hspace=\"15\" vspace=\"15\" align=\"left\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posted by Kevin Doell We had dinner with the guys from Domus Consulting the other night.
