The benefits of Social Networking: A blog series in the making

Yesterday, I trained a local Canton real estate brokerage on the topic of blogging, social networking and improving Search Engine Optimization. In speaking about the more popular Social Networking sites in the real estate industry, I mentioned Twitter, which very few agents were familiar with.

I was doing some research later in the day and happened upon a great article about Twitter in the Columbus Dispatch. I had set up a Twitter account months back, but never used it or explored its possibilities. The notion of following what all of my friends are doing at all times seemed a little too creepy for me, and I saw no true value. Besides, if I really cared to see what my friends are doing, I could do so through Facebook.

After reading the article, I decided to dive into Twitter a little deeper and report my findings to the real estate agents and brokers looking for effective Social Networking tools. Upon doing so, I will soon release a series of blogs on each major social networking website, and effective ways I've found real estate agents and brokerages use them to draw more business.
