There have been many reports regarding an increase in Southern California's 2008 Real Estate activity compare to 2007's Real Estate trends.

This summer, 2008, I was much busier with home buyers' inquiring about properties in Camarillo than last summer.  This could be correlated to an increase in bank owned/REO homes for sale and the lower pricing of bank owned/REO homes.

Below is a Comparable Real Estate Market Analysis for Camarillo. The table below demonstrates the number of homes sold and median home prices in the first 9 months of 2008 compared to the number of homes sold and median home prices in the first 9 months of 2007.

It has taken me nearly a year to finally take the plunge and join the most talked about social network of our time, Twitter. Not because I did not believe the words of my fellow Active Rainers, but because I was troubled by the thought of spending more time on my computer. As it is my family complains about the amount of time I spend on my blog and the Rain, but I think the paychecks every now and then keep them happy. :0)

Anyway, I digress. Like any other adventure in my life, after joining Twitter (one month ago) I had to jump in and learn all there was to learn about this new phenomenon. What's so great about this place? All I see is a page with my picture and a brief bio I have created to the right? So now what?

After being on Twitter for an hour I found some AR members. Within 2 hours of my membership I had made a lunch date with Elaine Hanson!!! Wow, this place is pretty cool.

My quick search of Twitter Tools directed me to some of the most amazing sites dedicated to Twitter and third party developers who have created applications for Twitter. As a Realtor I am more interested in the business aspect of Twitter and the tools that make my discussions on Twitter easier.

So with no further ado here is a list of Twitter tools and applications I found helpful as a Tweeting Realtor:

  
Plugins:

• Twitt-Twoo: Allows you to update your Twitter status right from your blog's sidebar.
• Twitter Update: Sends an automatic update to your Twitter account when you post, edit, or update a Wordpress post.
• Google Toolbar button: Allows you to see your friends tweets on your Google toolbar for IE.

Maps:
Know where your followers and people you are following on Twitter are twitting from:

• GeoTwitter: Google map Based.
• Mibazaar: Google map Based.
• My Tweet Map: Google maps and twitter integration.
• Twitt Earth: A fancy spinning globe that shows tweets.
• TwitterMaps: google maps based.
• TwitterVision: google maps based.

Web Services:

• CrowdStatus: Allows you to organize your contacts into any group you like.
• GroupTweet: Allows you to send private messages to specific groups.
• PingTwitter: Allows you to automatically update your Twitter account when you publish a new post to your blog.
• Timer: You can set up an alarm for things you need to remember, e.g. my birthday.
• Twitzu: Allows you to broadcast your events to your followers. I think this would come in handy for open houses!!!
• Twitabit: Allows you to store your tweets when Twitter is down and posts them when Twitter is back up and running. 
• TwitThis: Allows people to tweet about your blog posts or website.
• TwitterShare: Allows you to share files less than 10 MB with other members (pictures, music, and videos).
• Twist: Allows you to see trends in Twitter.

Visual Aids:

• MobyPicture: Allows you to post pictures from your cell phone to your Twitter or Flicker acount. 
• TwitPic: Allows you to share pictures on Twitter from your phone or computer.

Widgets:

• BeTwittered: A Google Widget for Twitter.
• Spinlets: A Widget that displays Tweets.

And many, many more. The list above is just a few tools that I thought I would use for my business. If you want the 411 on Twitter tools please take the time and visit Mashable where you can find all that is new on the web, not just Twitter.

Happy Tweeting.
