Follow ‘SoundBiteBlog’ on Twitter!

Have you jumped on the Twitter bandwagon yet? It’s one of the more popular social networks populating the Internet these days.

I have to confess, when it first came out, I wasn’t all that motivated to check it out. I mean, seriously, what value is there in letting people know that I’m going to the bathroom, what I ate for lunch, or what movie I’m going watch this weekend? All I could think was that people really need to get a life!

Well, Twitter IS life. It allows us to quickly connect within our sphere of fellow Twits by offering up short snippets (limited to 140 characters) into our lives. Conversations on Twitter can also be sent directly to your mobile device.

As a local real estate professional who is fully immersed in today’s social media technology, Twitter offers yet one more viable platform for promoting my business, and expanding my sphere of influence.

In order to relate and interact in our Net Savvy culture, you have to go where the conversations are.

So Ride the Wave of Social Networking, and join Twitter today! It’s fun and it’s FREE!

Just like Rich, I wondered what the fascination with Twitter was at first. My original question? How can I say anything meaningful in 140 characters? Well, ask yourself this. Have you ever been involved in a series of emails back and forth to a friend when the emails consisted of one or two lines of text?

That’s the niche Twitter fills so well. It’s much quicker to post a short Twitter update than it is to write an email in response to a friend. And, other friends can jump in with their comments as well if they are following you. It’s kind of fun and it’s more efficient than the way I used to do things. I think of it as online text messages.
