So you’ve heard the “buzz”… or should I say the “twit-ille” about all the wonderful things you can accomplish on Twitter. You’ve heard from the experts and even had facts given from Gary Vaynerchuk on how Twitter increased his business by leaps and bounds! As a real estate agent… can it work for you?
I’d like to share a Twitter story with you — just to give you an example of the reach and power Twitter has:
What happens when someone is stranded on a Florida freeway needing gas? Well …. twitter you need help of course! And help did arrive within minutes by way of Washington, New Jersey and even hit my twitter timeline here in Milwakee…
Check out the stranded Twitter-er’s Tweeted posts / timeline below:
- is stranded. I need someone to help me get some gas! I’m near I-4 & 98 North. Anyone available? 17 minutes ago from mobile web
- @seanmarler @MaximusPolitics @nansen THANKS! Help is on the way. Thanks to @adammayfield – Pastor of Journey Church in #LKLD 11 minutes ago from TweetDeck
- @Izen @JenKM @tammey Thanks for the Retweet! @adammayfield is on his way to help! I’m out of beer, too. Anyone available? (Just kidding!) 6 minutes ago from TweetDeck
By the way of RT’s (Re-Tweets) … help was soon on the way for this person. Now … I’m assuming this person’s “followers” were a small select group in order for him to “tweet out” a need for help. But the call was picked up and spread throughout Twitterland! In a matter of roughly 6 minutes .. help was found.
Wow … do yo feel the reach and power of your 140 characters?
