I joined Twitter weeks ago (http://twitter.com/kerrybeach), just to find out what it is about, but simply can’t make myself Tweet about my mundane, everyday happenings. I have been trying to figure out how I should be using it to make a worthwhile contribution in the spirit of social networking. Since I actually have a few acquaintances following me, mostly fellow real estate agents, I have finally decided what I will do with it.
I have used Twitter recently to announce blog articles, and I will continue to do that. Of course, I have been very lax about posting articles, so I need to get back to setting time aside for this blog. I also will use Twitter for daily posting of “principles” that I have collected over the last few years. These are short sayings that I feel are important about how we should do things. Some of these are the sayings of others, and some are my own ideas. Unfortunately, I haven’t been good at noting who said something that I considered profound, so I apologize in advance if I repeat someone else’s great quotation without crediting the original author. I have two series that I will publish, Real Estate Principles and Life Principles.
Real Estate Principles will be important (I hope) to my real estate friends, but they will also give my clients a view of the principles by which I operate my consulting and brokerage business. Life Principles are more spiritual; I do not believe they will offend anyone, but please accept my apologies if they do, and understand there was no intent.
These Tweets will have a prefix to identify the series and intent:
Blg: Blog article announcements
RE: Real Estate Principles
Life: Life Principles
A few of these will require multiple successive Tweets to transmit, so they will be suffixed by “(x to follow)”, with “x” being the number of Tweets to come in order to get the entire message. The worst of these in my current list is four messages. The vast majority of these Tweets will be single messages.
Please follow these for a few days, and then let me know if you find these worthwhile. I am truly interested in all your feedback, and I also promise to start following more folks so that we can connect.
Thanks for the useful info. It’s so interesting
