Thanks Active Rain for a cool feature and yet another way to get our blog posts OUT There!
As always for all your Naples Florida Real Estate needs and information I am here At Home By the Gulf

Shannon, always such a learning place here on active rain. I wasn't even aware of such a feature.
Shannon, Thank you for the update. It looks like really need to set up a Twitter account.
Vickie I always learn something everytime I'm here... pretty cool isn't it!
Jimmy Your welcome and have fun with Twitter. I'm naplesrealtor when you get there :-)
Shannon, May I Re-Blog this???
Sure Cheryl go for it!
Thanks for the tip, Shannon!
Cool new feature. I hadn't noticed it yet, so thanks for the heads up.
Yes, we just noticed that this morning, ActiveRain will only get better and better.
Wendy & Jim, Maria You are very welcome. I love playing around with these new features!
Brad & Angela, I agree - just when you don't think it possible they come up with something new. Hard to keep up sometimes!
I have not used Twitter yet but keep hearing about it so....thanks for the reminder I need to go and check it out...
Shannon - Thanks for the info - just updated my settings for Twitter. I'm petranorris on twitter!
I Twitter all the time, but somewhere along the way I missed what "tweet" is. Help?
Hi Shannon, Thanks for bringing this up. I had not noticed this feature. I am a member of twitter even thjough I have only been over there once or twice. Never quite figured out the purpose for being there. Maybe it will be worth sending my link over there since it doesn't require any more of my time. tweet tweet
Thanks for telling us about this new feature, Shannon. It's nice to see ActiveRain integrate with Twitter.
Awesome....
I just noticed this. Signed up for a Twitter account...now to figure out what to do with it <g>
I am not sure I want to sign up for something that begins with something my older brother used to call me when I was a kid, Twit! LOL
Shannon, I have a twitter account but have never totally figured it out. Thanks for sharing as I don't go to my settings all that often. Hopefully my power will stay on so I can. It was just out for a few hours but I'm hoping that's just problems getting everyone back on line.
Shannon, I have added twitter to my settings. Now it wasn't totally easy as I had to log out and log back in so I could figure out my password. I noticed that we are not connected and to be quite honest I don't have a clue how to find you. My name is springtx, which is silly I should have used my name but oh well.
Shannon, I have a Twitter acct but I have not really explored it yet. It is amazing the pace at which things move on this network.
Nifty. I didn't see that yesterday. Of course I have been using TwitterFeed for a while now. It is a cool option for your "other blog" too.
Great catch Shannon! I would sometimes remember to put up my new posts on Twitter. Now AR is doing it for me! Awesome!
Okay, so now I have something that I can use my Twitter account for. :) I joined after Jeff Turner's blog about protecting your identiity and reputation online.
http://activerain.com/blogsview/629607/It-s-Your-Reputation
In fact he mentions online hijacking going on at Twitter. Thanks for the tip!
Okay that sounds like a good idea - I am going to look into it!
Wow. i had missed that feature, so I'm looking into it. I'm truly a twittre novice, but I've had several friends tell me it's a great way to stay in the loop.
I haven't signed up for Twitter, yet, just trying to learn to blog!
Shannon, I'm still in the dark ages...I need to learn about Twitter. I know Missy loves it. Thanks for the heads up.
I like your polka-dots!
Later in the rain~Deb
Thanks for the help! I'm now Tweeting in the Rain!
Thanks for the heads up I get a surge of readers when I tweet my AR posts.
I set it up but since I am in the practice of Tweeting them in the Chris Brogan approved manner this could be a step back for me... wait...then again I have never tweeted my Localism posts... that will be different.
Well I guess I shouldn't have hit the hay early last night.... so here goes...
Coco Twitter is very user friendly and fun - there are videos and a great support network www.twitter.com
Petra I'm going to find and follow you now on Twitter - thanks!
Dee <script type="text/javascript"></script> A " tweet" is what we call the message we send.... you could call it a twitter but doesn't a tweet sound better???
Bryant Yes check it out a bit more and thanks for the tweet tweet now I have Rockin' Robin in my head. LOL
John I agree - I love the integration!
Missy Loved the agent genius post If I am not a Lead....
Debbie good for you - they have a lot of good tutorials etc. check them out
Richard thanks for the memory of being called a twit I believe I was called twittette & my brother twit as well. LOL
Marchel I believe you can change your username anytime I probably should have my name on there as well since mine is naplesrealtor I'll find you and I hope the POWER stays on... that would be torture to have it go off now that you finally have it back!!!!
David I agree the pace is brutal - I need a day of just reading and taking notes to just keep up.
Lane Thanks for the tip on TwitterFEED !
Debbie your welcome!!!
Sharon I had not read Jeff Turner's article and will check it out THANK YOU
Emily cool
Cat, Terri, & Deb Just check it out when you can - twitter.com - it's fun and they have great instructions - there is so much to learn we just do what we can.... eventually we figure it all out :-) What a great industry - I have friends who are like " how do you know all this tech stuff?" Active Rain Baby :-) ( thanks on the polka dots Deb - I love them:-)
Susan awesome I am going to see if I can find you on Twitter :-)
Maureen thanks for sharing that you get a surge when you tweet your ar posts - good to know... yes think of the localism possibilities!!!!
I was already using this and think it is super cool
I guess it is time to set up a twitter account...
Will awesome - hopefully you also see a surge in your posts when using it! A nice feature
Elkhart-Evelyn Yup - I think so - give yourself a little bit more exposure :0)
I'm hearing so much about Twitter--I guess it's a huge political success these days.
mine did not work.... I reset it. I retweeted my AR post the old fashioned way.
A sign to stay with what was working?
Thanks for the update I just signed in to Twitter.
Diane yes it is growing all the time.... I just found one of Active Brad's posts I had been waiting to read on there :-)
Maureen it will be there - I checked right away yesterday and thought the same thing - but sure enough it's there ... either way whatever your comfortable - it's getting out there anyway - but if you check back I bet you find it...
Thanks Shannon...
Don't know how I missed this last night when I was updating my sites.
"I am glad I took the time to listen to you...."
I bet you wish you heard that phrase more often don't you?
Brady I 'm glad you did too, and no I don't hear that phrase near often enough:-) ( especially since I have two nearly grown no everthing kids LOL) Thank YOU!!!!
Thanks for the tip. Excellent piece of advice!!
Shannon,
Fantastic information. Thanks for writing about this. I missed this and saw Jeremy Blanton's mention of your post to get me to here. :)
Steve
Good to know about this feature. It is another great contribution by AR.
Thanks Shannon- I guess I will go and check this Twitter thing out. Everytime I turn around there are so many places to jump on board. It's a full-time job just keeping up with it all. I wish we got paid somehow for the many hours of internet use.
Dave you are welcome!
Steve glad you found it! Thanks for telling me how you got here :-)
Joan I agree and this actually simplifies my life ... a little
Tina I hear you , think of it this way when you get your terrific customers buying and selling from you , people who will know you and like you and want to work with you just from reading your blog etc. then you will be paid ( and in ways that are better then just cold hard cash) . Hang in there , it is a lot!
Hey Shannon! Congratulations on your feature! I going to have to learn how to twitter....I just don't understand it. Maybe if I would take the time to read the help stuff....... There's so much cool stuff and so little time!
Shannon it is a cool feature. I was using the share this application before they made the change.
Wow thanks for pointing out a cool feature on AR that would have gone unnoticed. I will try it out and twitter my blogs away
You most I suppose set up a twitter account for it to show?
Richard
Ann Thank you! I agree there is so little time - I have started just blocking it into my schedule but then I need to take a day and just read and take notes. Eventually we'll be all caught up and then they'll be something else. At least once you get what it is your trying to do it is easier! Let me know when your get yourself on twitter. I'll tweet you.
Bill I had not tried the share this yet but I guess this kind of takes care of it in a way? It is a very cool feature :-)
James my pleasure ... It is so cool and from what I'm reading here can drive some good traffice to your posts.
Richard Yes you must - it's easy take you 5 min www.twitter.com good luck:-)
Thank you for introducing me to this new feature.
Thank you for introducing me to this new feature.
Sharon Oh your very welcome - have fun with it!
Thank you Shannon for the update. I went and checked it out so now I am waiting to see if it will work.
Shannon,
I saw your post among the features on the home page. Very nice. Congratulations. I linked my Twitter and Facebook accounts to AR. :)
Steve
Steve thanks so much and I saw you on too... congrats... I have had one of those crazy busy days and have not gotten to comment on anything.... I still haven't eaten yet and it's almost 8 p.m.
Hi Don I hope it worked - it took a few minutes for mine it wasn't immediate... you might also want to check out Jeremy Blanton's feature on adding the twitter application to facebook- pretty cool . I just added it to mine and it was so easy!
Thank you, Shannon. I am going to go update my settings now. Thank you again for the information. BTW, I love the polka dots! :-)
Oh hi Sarah your welcome. It is pretty cool I just posted and it 's there on twitter and now on facebook too thanks to Jeremy :-) Glad you like the polka dots - I love them too ... thanks for the comment
Wow, thank you SO MUCH for point this out, i never noticed it before!
Hi Shannon,
Thank you for putting my Twitter page into your post! Maybe it will help me to get more followers. (My Twitter page is TwitWhittier.)
Now that I'm on Twitter, this is a useful feature. Also makes me want to blog more!
Read the posts and comments, I know I need to take the plunge and tweet. Thanks Shannon!
This is a great tool. It's made me much more likely to use Twitter.
Hi Shannon
Thank you for your input. I need all the help and ideas I can get
Kieran
Shannon,
As a fellow member of the NABOR Leadership Class of '06 with you.... I salute you! Great info! Keep it coming!
Lynn
Hi Shannon, I don't think this is a new feature but a good reminder to us all!
Just remember to update this feature if you change your twitter password.
