Broken Promises

 

Size Doesn't matter

I should have mentioned when I originally posted this that someone using Google used this search and landed on my blog, I took a screen shot of it.  Some bloggers like to test search phrases on Google and I do a little of that but I like to see how people actually search and learn from it.

I don't get it, so I thought I would try it and I still don't get it. Why do people like taking pictures of themselves?  I looked at other peoples mugshots and hate to sound like I am bragging but most are even scarier than mine.

We Are The Twitterati

By @mizzle, @gingerw, @HouseChick, and @tcar

Recently, our friend Greg Swann referred to some people in RE.net as The Twitterati. Who exactly he was addressing, we don't know. It didn't sound like a compliment. But damn. That's a great name! We're claiming it.

We are The Twitterati. The coolest clique on RE.net.  Are you a member?  Maybe you are, without even knowing it.

If you're in this picture, or can identify everyone in it, you're absolutely Twitterati.

• If you are a master at responding to EVERYTHING in 140 characters or less … You are the Twitterati
• If the first things you do when you sign up for things like blip.fm or dailymugshot is look for the auto-Twitter-notifier …
• If you won't sign up for any social network that DOESN't auto-notify Twitter...
• If your friends call you by your Twitter name IRL (In Real Life)...
• If you've known for forgetting the D at inopportune moments...
• If you've ever been in a Twhirl vs. TweetDeck debate...
• If you secretly look up other people's Twitter Grader, then try to scheme out ways to bump up your grade...

If you make a business decision to purchase 600 bumper stickers with your twitter name ONLY on it because you know SOME people will "get" it … then YOU and those people who "get" it are DEFINITELY the Twitterati.

• If you ever leave a comment on a blog post using your Twitter name and a link to your Twitter profile instead of your name and website … You are the Twitterati.
• If people tweet how excited they were to have met you...
• If you have Twinkle, Halo, Twitterific and Twitter Mobile on your iPhone, and are still wishing for something more ideal...
• If you've ever dropped the F-Bomb on the CEO of Zappos.com via Twitter... (sorry about that)
• If people tweet, wondering where you're at when you haven't tweeted in a few hours...
• If people follow you just to join in on the twittercizing...
• If you've ever worn an @Mizzle tie...

• If you follow @NARSocialMedia on Twitter, and think it's for real, you're NOT Twitterati!
• If you've ever used the term "wiffle bat orgy" or "more cowbell" you are Twitterati...
• If you can never again listen to "It Takes Two" from M.C. Rob Base without laughing...
• If you're married to Mr. HouseChick or Mr. Mizzle...
• If you own both twitternames @mrhousechick and @mrmizzle...
• If you have to write your twitter name under your real name on nametags to have your friends recognize you, you might be Twitterati.
• If you ever replaced your Twitter Icon with something that said e-Twit, you need help … I mean you are the Twitterati.
• If you know the qualifications for e-Twit without having to look it up...
• If people who AREN'T in the real estate business know your Twitter name, and EVER reference you by it …
• If your children have ever called you by your Twitter name …
• If you ever tried to explain Twitter to someone only to give up half-way through the conversation...
• If you've ever declared a Twitter-hiatus and you only lasted 45 minutes in the cold silence of a Twitterless world, you might be Twitterati.
• If you secretly wish for Fail Whale schwag, you might be Twitterati.
• If an item you wear in your Twitter avatar is now a social object...
• If you have jewelry custom made with the @ symbol, you are Twitterati...
• If you've ever been in a blip war...
• If you miss McLovin...
• If you're thinking of lobby-conning Inman Connect New York, just because you want to go to the parties...
• If you've been to an Altos Research After, After Hours Party, you're Twitterati for life.

And finally, if you have been to more than one Altos After After Party, you're not just Twitterati, but Twitterati SUPER elite.

Are you Twitteratti? Tell us why.

Hey buddy can you spare a dime?

Thought I would write a few words on this my blog of mass destruction cleverly disguised as a hot dog stand.

Business is slow for me right now.  I know that I am the only Realtor out there who is experiencing a slow down.  Business is always fantastic, for those who have the right attitude.

I feel like a loser because the housing market has contracted a bit locally and I am the agent who ended up with less business this month.  Everyone else is happily going about their business and making a ton of money.  I feel so left out.

It is all about attitude and frankly mine sucks right now.  There I said it.

Maybe if you are not too busy today you could stop by the weenie and give me some words of advice. 

A grave situation

Hard to imagine but there are people out there who do not understand how to properly use twitter at a funeral.  The deceased twitter ID should always be turned into a hash tag and 'RIP' is put on the end of it. Example: #mickeymouseRIP. 

Use twitter search, put in the hash tag and use the RSS feed to put it on a blog. It is all so simple yet people seem to be having trouble with it.  The last funeral I attended  people were using a couple of different hash tags and I had so much trouble following it all I almost left.
