Nicole – I have also enjoyed connecting with the locals – it’s a nice break from talking real estate

I love the idea of finding people locally to follow. My website is hyper-local to the area I know best so I would love to include local businesses in blogs and articles. Unfortunately, the search feature isn’t working on Twitter right now so I can’t find them…I am bummed

Chris – Exactly! Knowing where to go for the info you need is right there on Twitter.
Have fun with the local articles.

Deb – How cool is that? Sounds like a lot of fun and meeting others you may never have met otherwise, is a bonus.

Mark – Same here! I still have my RSS feed, but I learn alot from the poeple I follow on Twitter.

Mike – I didn’t even think about the hash tags; I need to go login at #NotatNar2008. Twitter searches for specifics can lead you to hours of info.

Gretchen – I knew what you meant and don’t you wish the comment section had spell check? I’ve found some great local resources for small business, techies, blogs, and having fun meeting them online.

Richard – the casual contact and conversation on Twitter does make it easy to get to know others.

Paula – Twitter has an infinite possibility of prospecting ideas. Following the trail of crumbs left by hashtags (#NAR2008) and twitter searches for instance.

Good stuff.
Oh yeah – following #NotAtNAR2008 is a great idea as well ; )

What’s great about Twitter is you can use it in a variety of different ways – be it personal, personal/business or business. I’m finding that Twitter is complementing and even replacing my RSS reader given the number of interesting links I discover from the people I follow.

Hi Paula,

Twitter can definitely open up new avenues. I’ve been tweeting for awhile and also searched for people around my area (other than real estate agents) who were on Twitter. One of the people I found is the social media director of our local National Public Radio station. I ended up at WBUR on election night Twittering About The Election. Not only did it feel wonderful to be a part of such an important event, I met a great group of local social media mavens and we were videoed for a social media documentary, too.

You never know where Twitter can take you!
