You may wanna look up Doug Quance in your area. A good guy, and fellow Atlanta agent. It'd be great if you'd twitter me, Kathy. Kathy — Thanks, it’s much appreciated.

Yes, the tool can be a major distraction, and it is addictive. Like all addictions, tweeting and following twitters meets a need deep within; answering a yearning I didn't know I possessed.

That sound you hear is the gigantic splat in the water as the really big boys cannon ball into the pool. This is one of the very cool ways in which the market will be cleansing itself over the next 6-18 months. I'm all for it, and think if those with experience and expertise are thinking about using this method, they should jump in, but with caution. The mistake comes when everyone looks at this the same way they looked at buying properties during the height of the boom. Bad strategy. Each loan should be analyzed within an inch of its life. By the way, Sean, I've been writing a post for BloodhoundBlog on this exact subject. I expect to post it in the next week or so. You're really on top of things, as usual.

Have you heard of this method of property investment? I had not, but I'm mildly intrigued. Any thought's pro or con? I read this today in Bloomberg:

No…. I simply can’t imagine that. First of all, read my mind. :) Grandma told me to spend as much time as I can with smart folks. You and Benn are obviously high on the the A-List of those people. Thanks for all your insights. Lani — YOU spend 5000+ minutes on the phone? No…. I simply can’t imagine that.

No.... I simply can't imagine that ;) I already shared my knowledge nuggets with you over the phone (for the rest of you, that's the old fashioned square thing that does voice connecting, it's still cool). Don't get addicted, twitter doesn't break if you're not there, reach out locally and be social. YOU spend 5000+ minutes on the phone? No…. I simply can’t imagine that ;)

So far, my personal policy is no twittering on the cell. Due to the nature of our business model, national scope, my average time on the cell is 5,000+ minutes monthly. Adding twitter would be an invitation to an exploding cell. If there's a way of which I'm unaware to avoid massive incoming traffic to the cell via twitter, I'm open to it.

Its sort of like passing notes in class when you were in school - and its a pretty funny stream of conversation some time. I'm sure you'll make that richer - And watch for the mobile alerts - if your phone is on vibrate you're going to need to carry an extra battery when you get started if you're away from the PC - it's addicitive to people who like to talk and have opinions - know anyone like that? :-) Jeff;
