Been thinking about it even before you wrote this. Just like you probably wouldn't invite EVERYONE you know over to a party and then trying to talk to all of them at once, maybe it does make more sense to have separate lists. I am learning quite a bit from all the real estate bloggers the "Twitterati" and it is interesting to see their prospective on the industry. I don't consider myself a blogger, I blog because it is necessary part of creating a web presence in the real estate world. I do think there is great potential in using twitter to find and create local communities and of course hanging out with the REW crew to me is like finding secret passageways inside a castle that leads to a great treasure chest. The disadvantage to creating separate lists is that people only get to see parts of you, although which for an online community may be enough. The key to "getting" twitter though is through community. The idea of keeping your lists tight is really hitting home to me. Been thinking about it even before you wrote this.

Yes, I'm alive and well! And really timely post as I've been thinking about Twitter as a medium quite a bit. You and I come from the same school of thought. We've actually touched on this in the REW forums before. Authenticity, loyalty, keeping a tight circle of like-minded "friends", and growing these friendships will produce the highest dividends (in every sense of the word). It already has for me. Well done as always. Knox – thanks for the tweet and this awesome post. Yes, I’m alive and well! And really timely post as I’ve been thinking about Twitter as a medium quite a bit.

I'm trying. The thing is that I update my Facebook status all the time, so it really shouldn't be that hard for me to understand, but for some reason I keep fighting it. Oh well, you guys keep at it and I'm sure it will click eventually. Where does instant messenger and email enter the formula here? Am I using a screw driver and twitter is the Swiss Army Knife in our social tool boxes? I love your style of writing. It is actually entertaining! I’ll admit that I don’t *get* twitter. I’m trying.
