How to fully participate in the Twitter conversation in only 30 minutes
(once you see the Twitter conversations, you will get it!)
As a follow-on to yesterday's Twitter future post, I want to make it as simple as possible for a newbie to get the full effect of the Twitter real estate conversation happening right now.
But first, a little more prodding... Mashable's Stan Schroeder adds supporting evidence to being an Early Adopter in Web 2.0.
At the time of Twitter’s humble beginnings, it didn’t seem very important to actively use the service. Most people I know sat on the sidelines and waited to see if this new thing is worth their time. Some, like Robert ScobleSecond, here's Robert Scoble's secret - the full effect of Twitter is immediately accessible to a newcomer:and Steve Rubel
And although many would see this as colossal waste of time, the fact is that these Twitter pioneers now exert a huge amount of influence through this new medium. Whenever Twitter is mentioned in mainstream media, Scoble gets a nod. Whenever he tweets, he gets loads and loads of replies, which turns almost every one of his tweets into an interesting conversation.
I’ve gone through stages with Twitter. At some point I thought it was important to get lots of followers. But lately I’ve been telling people that the secret to Twitter isn’t how many followers you have, but how many people you are following.Your Assignment
All the newbie needs to do to get tapped into Twitter is to "follow" all the real estate Twitterers; they comprise the industry's early adopters. By subscribing to a massive lot of Twitter feeds, you are privy to the full conversation happening on the RE.net / RE2.0. So register, then find me - pkitano - or any of the Twitterers listed below. Click on who we "follow" and then click "follow" on all the real estate Twitterers you know (it will take less than 30 minutes) - below is a list for reference (unfortunately, Twitter has no sorting capability so the list order is randomized...)
Final hint - it's ok to "watch"... I'm not verbose so I don't comment often, but you'll be privy to an unfolding water cooler kind of conversation - breaking news, jokes, personality and lots of interesting links.
Final prod - follow me, I'll follow you, and I'll update the list below later...
Final tip - download Twhirl - a Twitter client that acts like a ticker tape for all the Twitter feeds being uploaded in real time.
