Did You Notice THAT Little Blue Widget?

Twitter Page GraphicIf you’re a regular HomeSection.com reader, you might have noticed a subtle little change at the bottom of the right sidebar.

Yep, I finally joined the flock and started using the Twitter account that I sheepishly activated some months back but up until now had never used.

For months I’ve been trying to figure out if/why/how I’d ever use Twitter.  And I must admit: up until a few weeks ago, I still wasn’t sure.

I certainly didn’t want to tell the world how lumpy my morning oatmeal was or that I had just finished brushing my teeth.

So I continued to scratch my head, wondering why so many people out there had embraced Twitter as the new Pet Rock (don’t remember what that was, or too young to remember? Click Here).

But over the past few weeks, some applications and opportunities started to crystallize in my mind. And I thought “what the heck, after the first of the year, maybe I’ll finally start tweeting.”

Then yesterday I went to the Active Rain “RainCamp” in San Francisco — an all day information-packed social media symposium.

Well one of the speakers — Ben Kinney — offered to provide a link so we could download a copy of his presentation. But the catch was you had to agree to “follow” him on Twitter. Well that little tug was just the nudge I needed.

Without hesitation, I threw caution to wind, logged in, clicked “follow” for Ben and posted this tweet:

My First Tweet

I plan to tweet interesting tidbits and snipets — mostly about Real Estate and/or the Benicia-Vallejo or Greater Solano County Area.

I also plan to tweet  links to my HomeSection.com posts. So if you’re on twitter and follow me , you’ll get an instant notification and a link whenever a new real estate or community post shows up here at HomeSection.com.

Now that I’m officially a Tweeter, I feel like I’ve entered a whole new world — one that until a few weeks ago I didn’t know ever existed.

Any tweeting ideas or suggestions? I’m all ears.
