10 Fave Twitter Tools for Realtors

By Jim Marks on August 16, 2009

Although Twitter.com is great for some things, (searches, etc.) Twitter beceomes a MUCH more powerful tool when used with a host of 3rd party tools.  There are 100s, if not 1000s of such tools.  Here is a list of some of my faves.  Please do not feel you need to use any or all of these… Read the descriptions and see which ones might work for you and then learn to use ONE at a time…  As you become more and more experienced with Twitter, you will figure out JUST which of these tools fit into your twitter style and schedule…

This is step two on your journey…  Have Fun!!

1. TweetDeck is a desktop Twitter and Facebook application. Like other Twitter applications it interfaces with the Twitter API to allow users to send and receive tweets, view profiles, and organize your Twitter friends into groups.

5. Twitter.com Search Yes, Twitter search.  Learn all the ways to search for prospects.  For example, if you enter in the twitter search box…  near: 92660 house, you will get everyone who lives in that zip that has used the word house in their tweet.  A valuable tool for agents.

    Thanks.

    Charlotte,

    No. Some of them overlap. Choose one a week, read about it, if you like it install it… and see how much you use it… It is just a good thing to know about these tools…

    Great Tips!!! Thanks for the leadership! Much appreciated. One note…with Tweetdeck…I was using it for a while before I realized it expanded sideways. We are always used to programs dropping down rather than moving laterally…I actually found Jimmy Hoffa there! LOL
