The latest US-based figures from Hitwise show Twitter is the fourth most popular online social network with a tiny market share of just over one percent.
What’s the defining factor that makes Twitter a valuable business tool rather than a waste of time? Successful Twitter users have these factors in common:
With the importance of social media for real estate agents becoming clearer by the day, the team at Classified Ad Ventures (owner of propertyadguru.com) have come up with a new social tool to help Australian agents: SOBOX.
SOBOX aims to provide agents with “social media in a box”, taking any hassle associated with setting up and maintaining their social media presence out of the equation.

One of the big debates surrounding the use of Twitter in real estate is whether listings should be broadcast through the social networking tool. Some argue that Twitter should be all about relationship building, while others say the occasional listing is perfectly ok to include. Still others are in favour of Twitter accounts that only tweet listings, maintaining they will only reach those who are truly interested.

US foreclosure marketplace realtytrac.com has introduced a social media element to encourage discussion amongst users.
RealtyTrac Community, which is free to join, covers topics such as buying, selling, home values, investing, and realtytrac.com features.
realtytrac.com says visitors can seek out local real estate experts and ask questions on neighbourhoods, schools, market conditions, financing, and foreclosure activity.
UK based website wecando.biz has launched a service that helps businesses find leads by sorting through tweets and highlighting those that match preset criteria.
The new “Twitter Sales Leads” service was recently launched in public beta, and now costs £22.95 per month. According to the company’s blog, Twitter Sales Leads searches for keywords and filters results to show only those that include an expressed need, request for a product, or service recommendation.
