Twitter can now be searched. There is a neat tool out there that is currently in BETA form that I have been having fun with for sometime now.  It was developed by a company called Waggener Edstrom Worldwide. They are a PR company that is well known for their online and offline tools that dig deep into audience impacts and influences and demonstrate reality-based return on influence.  I know that is a mouthful but they are a cool company.

The folks at WEW say that this new tool called TWENDZ is a Twitter mining Web application that utilizes the power of Twitter Search, highlighting conversation themes and sentiment of the tweets that talk about topics you are interested in.  I thought it was fun to play with myself and after using it for a few hours it dawned on me all the ways in which this would become very useful. In fact we may even be looking at the beginning of a new type of search engine.  It shows what is on the Tweeters mind and their emotional reactions to life events.  Tweets are rated either with a positive or negative rating.  This allows Twendz the ability to do things like predict the most current trends.

This tool allows business to see what is currently important to their potential customers.  A company could launch a new product to the Twitter world and wait for the tweets to come in.  You could change the face or marketing of a product by getting real time feedback from your customers rather than waiting weeks for a focus group's data to be analyzed.

You can go to the Twendz website and type in any search phrase and see what people are saying about it.  I tried many different types of search phrases and was very surprised by the outcome.  I did try searching for "Homes for Sale" and "Real Estate" and saw that there was a few folks sending tweets about new listings.  However I think they were missing the boat on this and were to general in their tweets.  I have blogged about how my Broker friend Jim uses Twitter to tweet to his customers about new homes his firm has signed up before they hit the MLS.  He recently sold two properties using Twitter and I will go in to this in another blog after I have had time to talk more in depth with Jim

If for nothing less than a silly diversion over coffee, Twends is worth trying just for the smile factor.  But for those of us who like cutting edge technologies and the potential they possess, it could be phenomenal.

People are making money with Twitter everyday.  It is not that hard to do.  You just need to develop a following and then give them a reason to follow your tweets.  Can everyone make money?  That is like asking if every new business will make it.  It all depends on what you have to offer and how well you market it.

In a recent post about my friend Jim,a broker in the Midwest I detailed a story about how he sold two properties using Twitter.  He did that by getting his agents behind the idea that they tweet all of their customers when a property comes up that their customers might be interested in.  His agents are required to sign up for a Twitter account and to sign up their clients as well.  It took about three or four months but it has started to pay off.

There are lots of examples of tweets making people money. The first thing you have to do is to develop a following on Twitter.  This is not as hard as you would think.  Go through your current list of clients and see if you can find a common thread.  Lets say you have several folks all looking for a 4/2 in a nice neighborhood.  I am sure many of you get email address from your customers when they sign with you and use some type of drip-email service?  You can use Twitter as a tool to enhance your marketing plan.

Market Twitter as a way to get new listings before they hit the MLS.  Let your clients know that if they follow you on Twitter they will get new listings before anyone else.  It needs to be marketed as an exclusive service that offers information that is HOT!  Current information that no one else can get unless they follow you on Twitter.

Get other agents in your office to tweet you as soon as they sign a seller up.  Twitter gives you 140 characters to use and that is usually enough.  Make sure you are very specific and target exactly what your clients are looking for in a search.

Basically Twitter is part of the much larger social networking platforms you will find on the Internet.  Facebook and Myspace would also be part of the social networking world on the internet.  Twitter is also considered a micro-blogging platform.  That simple means that you are only given about 150 characters to get your point across.

Twitter allows you to send tweets(updates) to anyone that may be following you on Twitter.  You sign up for Twitter and get a text box to write your micro-blog in.  When you are through typing you just click on the "update" button.  Then what ever you typed in the text box will be sent out to folks who follow you.

People can choose to follow you or you can choose to follow them.  Either way every time you update your Twitter account people following you will receive your update.  You can send tweets from your pc or from your phone in if have SMS.

My last blog gave a great example of how a friend of mine is using Twitter to sell real esate
