Housing Reporter presents The Real Estate Twitter (er) posted at Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, saying, "My real estate Twitter account just surpassed 100,000 followers last week and I am just blown away with how the world of microblogging works. For readers not familiar with how real estate and twitter combine, you can follow this link to Twitter and Real Estate that I wrote just one year ago (when I only had 2,100 followers!).
Just as a refresher, this microblogging social network was created so that users could broadcast to anybody who would listen “what I am doing right now” in 140 characters or less. But what has happened is that it has morphed into a network of people who pass information and links regarding breaking news and information."
