What are you doing?

Sooo, what are you doing?

Who would be interested to know that you're reading this blog right now? Anyone? Probably! This is the phenomenon that Twitter and other social networking applications have proven. Whether you know it or not, people ARE interested in what you're doing, your interests, even your highs and lows in life. This has become a large part of what is making social networking a growing trend. Because of all of the social networking sites already out there (Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc.) I was somewhat hesitant at first to consider Twitter a viable application and tool. But, after all, a primary focus of our business is dedicated to giving real estate investors tools to generate leads on the Internet and drive traffic to their sites. Not to mention, we always have the need to increase traffic to our own websites. Because of these reasons, it was definitely worth checking out. The outcome? Awesome! We've found Twitter to be a very interesting and different style of social networking.

When I was preparing to write this article, I was doing some research on Twitter so that I could figure out the best way to explain why it is different and what is so valuable about it. Then, to relate it to real estate investors. In my search I came across a video that I'd like to share with you that articulates Twitter "in plain English" much better than I can. I decided to share the video and then later discuss Twitter in relation to real estate investing in another post.

My favorite quote from this video is "alot happens between blog posts and emails". Twitter is perfect for keeping you up to date with what others are doing in their lives (including the small stuff!). Surprisingly enough, people do care about the small stuff! Watch the video below and let me know what you think. Do you agree that this video really does explain Twitter "in plain english"?
