twitter: The Death of Civil Debate
- 05/06/18 02:36 PM
It's a sad and telling testament to our society. We've lost the ability to have civil debate. We can no longer 'agree to disagree.' Mutual respect for varying views and opinions is literally non-existent. Tolerance is only extended as long as you hold the same convictions and beliefs as the one granting tolerance. Nowadays, it's my way or the highway. I'm right, and you're wrong. Or, as in most instances, I'm right, and you're an idiot! Nowhere is this more apparent than across the myriad of social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Have you ever encountered one of those people who … (5 comments)
twitter: The 'WHY' of Social Media - Developing a Social Media Strategy Part II
- 12/02/09 07:11 AM
"Social Media is the new Water Cooler. It's where People Connect and Interact" ~ Rich Jacobson ~ Before we jump into the nuts and bolts of developing a social media strategy, I thought it would be best to understand the bigger picture of why you, as a real estate professional, should be using social media to grow and promote your business. Here's one of the best definitions I've come across for social media: "Social Media is the collection of tools and online spaces available to help individuals and businesses to accelerate their information and communication needs." - Axel Schultze - If there's … (63 comments)
twitter: Here's another 'What If" Social Network Epiphany
- 03/31/08 10:38 AM
Okay, so no sooner had I published my rather lengthy discourse on all things "Twitter," than I get a phone call from the RainMan himself, Jonathan Washburn.... ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ Have you ever seen the movie 'The Majestic" with Jim Carey? It's definitely one of my 'Top Ten' all-time favorite movies. Jim plays the part of a 1940's Hollywood Screenwriter, and in the early part of the movie, all the writers are sitting around brainstorming plot possibilities. One of the writers says, "Hey! I got a 'What If'.... ...meaning, that he's got … (21 comments)
twitter: "The What & Why of Twitter" - Social Network Review
- 03/31/08 06:17 AM
One of the primary reasons I decided to embark upon this series of Social Networking Reviews was to help the general ActiveRain membership weed through the endless offering of new networks that seem to pop-up daily, and provide helpful information in order to better determine which ones pose the most potential benefit to their core business. Ultimately, each of us needs to make the final determination ourselves regarding our Internet time investments. ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ "140 characters"....That's it. Think social networking on steroids ~ Or Instant Messaging with an Attitude ~ Or even, Micro-Blogging. I am … (89 comments)

- 03/26/08 04:32 AM
Okay, I'll be the first to admit it. I'm a TwitterBug. Yeah, that's right. A Net Twit. Or is that Nitwit? (Don't answer that!) Oh well, regardless, I am hooked on Twitter. Slightly obsessed even. But certainly not as addicted as some (you KNOW who you are!) I'm putting the proverbial 'Cart-before-the-Horse' here because I'm planning a full review/critique on Twitter in the very near future. But because I know a large number of our members are 'twittering,' I thought I'd share this now.... Techno-Geek/Blogger Extraordinaire, Robert Scoble, has come to a new, revised conclusion regarding Twitter in one of his recent posts. Basically, he states that … (20 comments)
