What is Social Networking? Ever wonder what the buzz is all about? Here's some information you might find useful in your attempt to make sense out of this growing phenomenon.
Your family, friends and business connections are using many different social Websites to locate and share content. Some are reviewing articles, uploading photos and videos in addition to writing Blogs.
What is a Blog? An online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called WeBlog, Web log. Typically updated daily, Blogs often reflect the personality of the author. Related terms: Blog, Blogged, Blogging v, Blogger n (dictionary.com)
Other people use Blogs to write restaurant and product reviews. Social networks have become quite popular and very common among both the public and professionals. Many of your clients and business connections have accounts in one or more of social networks. Some of the more effective for real estate are:
LinkedIn: Is designed as a professional network. Build a network of past colleagues, friends, and industry experts. The Answer section helps you build a reputation as an industry expert. Ask people to write recommendations of your work and endorse you.
Plaxo Pulse: Is a public profile that is not static; it’s constantly changing with an enriched aggregated stream of the content that you are creating all over the Web. You’ve have refined control of what content and information you include in your profile. The result is that you have control and portability of your public identity.
Yelp: Use Yelp.com to find good restaurants, review insider information and perspective, obtain helpful tips and tricks for wherever you may be traveling to. Contribute to the community with your own reviews. This is a site where consumers are reviewing information from real estate professionals, especially what’s going on in the area.
Facebook: Try not to get caught up with the extraneous applications like “poking”, and “throwing sheep”. This site is very attractive to the X and Y generations. Post what you have to offer as a professional and invite consumers to read your Blog post. This site is where people want to be introduced and get to know you on their terms. Keep the information quantitative and professional until they feel comfortable to reach out proactively.
MySpace: Another social network for the X and Y generations. If you have a strong client base in this area, you should consider having a profile page on this site as well.
