Ya know, this whole Social Media thing is pretty funny when you think about it.\u00a0 For a little while now I have just sort of sat back and watched instead of hopping in to create a conversation.\u00a0 It’s kind of like sitting at the airport and watching how people react to different things.\u00a0 By no means am I a social media expert, I don’t really think I want to be one ~ I’m just a Real Estate Professional that finds it all really interesting and enjoys meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends.<\/p>\n

One of the sites I find the most interesting is Twitter.\u00a0 It’s amazing how everyday there seems to be another site that helps you ‘use’ it as a tool.\u00a0 You can go and find out who is following you back-maybe get your feelings hurt when you find out who is not reciprocating or Grade your twitter stream and find out how you rank or if you just pretty much suck at socializing..<\/p>\n

All of these tools seem, in my eyes atleast, to make us more vulnerable in so many ways.\u00a0 It all takes so much time.\u00a0 Where our blog used to be what we needed the most, folks are saying there is no point in having a blog if you are not on every Social Media site imaginable.<\/p>\n

While I love the Social sites, have met some amazing people and truly value all of the Relationships that have formed through Social Media Sites-what is this doing to business?\u00a0\u00a0 Are we at some sort of tipping point?<\/p>\n

All of this just makes me think about how much time it really takes away from conducting business.\u00a0\u00a0 While we may be out there creating opportunities, marketing a listing or other service, prospecting…are all of these ‘tools’ that ‘grade’ us\u00a0 in a way taking away from what we should really be focusing on?\u00a0 Are we worrying so much about making others happy in what we say, tweet or update that we are not connecting with people on a real<\/em> one on one level?<\/p>\n

I am totally in agreement that Social Media is a place to be, Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
