So, check it out, I’ve been on Twitter for a couple of days now and have managed to find some pretty interesting people. I’ve learned some things I thought I would share with you about Twitter and leasing terms:
1. It really takes TIME to set up a good network of people. Don’t get discouraged, you actually have to hunt for people and information. Once you’ve got ‘em though, you’re in! Here’s some links for you to start with: twitterfeed.com; tweetlater.com; search.twitter.com.
2. I’m learning a lot about the industry I am in. For example and believe it or not, but apartment managers do not want you to pay a year’s lease in advance. As a consumer, I thought, “Sure thing!” As an apartment manager they are thinking “How will I get this person out if they pay in advance?” I wouldn’t have known this if I weren’t using Twitter.
3. There are several desktop applications you can use besides the web and SMS. I’m using 3 right now, see if any work for you:
~Tweetdeck (allows multiple groups, multiple searches and auto-updates)
~Twhirl (you can use multiple user accounts and get auto-updates but no groups and search results)
~Twitteriffic (install this on your iPhone and you can either view your favorites or everyone)
Stay tuned… I’ll keep sharing!
