what IS twitter?
One of the current fads getting a lot of news these days is Twitter. I recently went to a small real estate conference that had more than a few sessions on social networking and specifically twitter. It gave me a ton of info. If you don’t know anything about Twitter and would like to, below is a short video that explains it all. In addition, you can look me up and “follow me” on twitter if you would like, just go to http://www.twitter.com/chris_lagarde and follow me there.
The part I find fascinating is that you can actually look up people that are geographically near by you and find people in your area that have similar interests. It’s like one big public instant message. So if I want to find people in the 19335 downingtown area that like playing music or have some other specific interest, I can do searchs for those keywords. Or, by using a site like http://chirpcity.com you can do a search for specific cities like Downingtown or 19335 and view tweets by those who are geographically in Downingtown or those who are “tweeting” about dowingtown.
Have fun!
