Shannon, always such a learning place here on active rain.  I wasn't even aware of such a feature.

Cool new feature.  I hadn't noticed it yet, so thanks for the heads up.

Posted by Jim & Maria Hart ~ Charleston, SC Real Estate (Brand Name Real Estate) over 3 years ago

Yes, we just noticed that this morning, ActiveRain will only get better and better.

Posted by Angela Lawrence - Realtor/Owner - Greensboro - Winston Salem -High Point (North Carolina Homes Realty) over 3 years ago

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! 

 

Posted by Shannon Gilmore, Realtor® Naples Florida Real Estate (John R. Wood Realtors ) over 3 years ago

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!

Posted by Petra Norris - Lakeland Florida Realtor® Lakeland FL Homes for Sale (CDV TransAtlantic, Inc.) over 3 years ago

I Twitter all the time, but somewhere along the way I missed what "tweet" is. Help?

Posted by Dee Nofziger (Floyd Wickman Team ) over 3 years ago

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

Posted by Bryant Tutas-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc over 3 years ago

Thanks for telling us about this new feature, Shannon. It's nice to see ActiveRain integrate with Twitter.

Posted by John Novak - Las Vegas and Henderson NV Real Estate (Keller Williams Realty The Marketplace) over 3 years ago

Awesome....

Posted by Missy Caulk-Ann Arbor-Realtor® Ann Arbor Real Estate (Keller Williams-Ann Arbor) over 3 years ago

I just noticed this. Signed up for a Twitter account...now to figure out what to do with it <g>

Posted by Debbie Small, REALTOR® (Long & Foster Realtors) over 3 years ago

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

Posted by Richard Mielke, REALTOR, Gettysburg Pennsylvania Real Estate (Miller & Associates Real Estate, LLC) over 3 years ago

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. 

Posted by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro (Results Realty) over 3 years ago

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.

Posted by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro (Results Realty) over 3 years ago

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.

Posted by Omaha, NE Real Estate | Omaha, NE homes for sale ~ Alliance Real Estate (Alliance Real Estate) over 3 years ago

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. 

Posted by Lane Bailey - REALTOR & Car Guy (Diamond Dwellings Realty) over 3 years ago

Great catch Shannon! I would sometimes remember to put up my new posts on Twitter. Now AR is doing it for me! Awesome!

Posted by Debbie DiFonzo - United Country VIP Realty, SW Missouri over 3 years ago

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!

Posted by Frank & Sharon Alters, CDPE-Short Sales Jacksonville-Orange Park-Fleming Island (Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty - Clay, Duval, St. Johns ) over 3 years ago

Okay that sounds like a good idea - I am going to look into it!

Posted by Emily Lowe - Nashville TN Realtor (The Lipman Group Sotheby's International Realty) over 3 years ago

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.

Posted by Cat Zwicker-Grant, P.C. Principal Broker/Co-Owner (Desert Sky Real Estate, LLC) over 3 years ago

I haven't signed up for Twitter, yet, just trying to learn to blog!

Posted by Terri Kincaid (ERA Brokers Consolidated) over 3 years ago

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

Posted by Deb Brooks, Lake Conroe Real Estate, 936-661-2624 over 3 years ago

Thanks for the help! I'm now Tweeting in the Rain!

Posted by Susan Hilton Texas Aggie Real Estate College Station Bryan Texas Real Estate (CENTURY 21 Beal, Inc.) over 3 years ago

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.

Posted by Maureen McCabe Columbus Ohio real estate (Real Living HER - HER Realtors) over 3 years ago

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

Posted by Will Nesbitt - condos, real estate in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County (Will Nesbitt Realty LLC at Condo Alexandria) over 3 years ago

I guess it is time to set up a twitter account...

Posted by Evelyn Johnston Real Estate Agent Elkhart Indiana Subdivision Specialist (Elkhart County Subdivisions, LLC) over 3 years ago

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)

Posted by Shannon Gilmore, Realtor® Naples Florida Real Estate (John R. Wood Realtors ) over 3 years ago

I'm hearing so much about Twitter--I guess it's a huge political success these days.

Posted by Diane Bell, Hilton Head Real Estate, Bluffton (Charter 1 Real Estate, Hilton Head, Bluffton, SC) over 3 years ago

mine did not work.... I reset it.   I retweeted my AR post the old fashioned way. 

A sign to stay with what was working?

Posted by Maureen McCabe Columbus Ohio real estate (Real Living HER - HER Realtors) over 3 years ago

Thanks for the update I just signed in to Twitter.

Posted by Donald Urschalitz P.A. Realtor ABR RSPS North Palm Beach County (One World Realty Inc.) over 3 years ago

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...

Posted by Shannon Gilmore, Realtor® Naples Florida Real Estate (John R. Wood Realtors ) over 3 years ago

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?

Posted by Brady Pevehouse ~ your Orlando Real Estate Professional (Perrone Realty) over 3 years ago

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!!!! 

Posted by Shannon Gilmore, Realtor® Naples Florida Real Estate (John R. Wood Realtors ) over 3 years ago

Thanks for the tip. Excellent piece of advice!!

Posted by Dave Edwards (Dave Edwards Realty) over 3 years ago

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

Posted by Steve Hoffacker - Sales Trainer, Author, Blogger, Photographer, Sales Strategies (Hoffacker Associates LLC) over 3 years ago

Good to know about this feature.  It is another great contribution by AR.

Posted by Joan Whitebook Southern New Hampshire (BHG The Masiello Group) over 3 years ago

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. 

Posted by Tina Allen (Exit Realty Tri-County) over 3 years ago

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! 

Posted by Shannon Gilmore, Realtor® Naples Florida Real Estate (John R. Wood Realtors ) over 3 years ago

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!

Posted by Ann Allen CDPE SRES ASP e-PRO REALTOR® ~ Hoover AL Homes for Sale (RE/MAX Advantage South) over 3 years ago

Shannon it is a cool feature. I was using the share this application before they made the change.

Posted by Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty) over 3 years ago

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

Posted by James Engel KW Beverly Hills (Keller Williams Realty Beverly Hills) over 3 years ago

You most I suppose set up a twitter account for it to show?

Richard

Posted by Richard Stabile Bergen County New Homes Builder Realtor (REMAX real estate associates) over 3 years ago

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:-)

Posted by Shannon Gilmore, Realtor® Naples Florida Real Estate (John R. Wood Realtors ) over 3 years ago
