Real Estate Forums

Laid Back Chat We are all friends here and sometimes we just want to chat. It doesn't have to be real estate web development all the time, some times we have a new baby in the family, sometimes we have a beef or boquet. Sit back and relax here.

Default Look what Twitter did for THIS guy!

This is a pretty neat story. This guy was arrested in Egypt.. and used "Twitter" to get his way out.

'Connected' really takes on new meaning and importance - relationship wise and communication wise. Good catch Nick.

What a great yet sad story about the power of social media. I've never used twitter yet, but now I'm going to have to try it (just in case I ever get arrested).

P.S. This is post #300, yeah!

I always said I would stay away from that site because it was a waste of time, but the body of evidence on its usefulness has built to a point where I can't ignore it any longer. I think I'm finally going to sign up. I know several people here have found it beneficial to their business as well.

I just can't see myself using Twitter and posting that I am going to the grocery store... but it is pretty cool that it worked so well for that guy!
