Think beyond Twitter Text
Many Estate Agents and members of the public think that Twitter
is only for people that love updating their Facebook statuses.
Twitter is so much more than that.
Estate Agents can share any forms of media via Twitter, not just
the 140 characters. As we all know, more forms of media we have
access to, the more fun and information we can share.
- Links – Shortly after the birth of
Twitter, there was a need to shorten long web addresses
(URL’s) to fit into the short space. Services such as
bit.ly are very popular with Twitter
users as it gives Estate Agents the ability to see how many people
clicked on their links as well what country and where on the
internet.
- Photos – Smart phones have given the
citizen journalist and amateur photographer the chance to share
what they see with the whole of Twitter. Services available such as
Twitpic are free and will create
a nice short link for you.
- Audio clips – Do you want your voice to
be heard on Twitter? Estate Agents, Websites such as Audioboo where
they believe ‘sound is social’ are again free to
use.
- Videos – Everyone loves to watch a viral
video. With a little originality and intuition, Estate Agents are
able to create a video that is shared by the masses. Again free
services such as TwitVid create a
nice little link while hosting the videos on their website.
There are now rumours circulating the internet that Twitter will
soon place photos and videos directly into Estate Agent’s
Tweets and the people that they are following.

comments, ‘Could this be the clincher to get the vast amount
of Facebook members to migrate to Twitter? Only time will
tell.’
