Thanks for this post on Twitter. I first heard about Twitter this summer from our project photographer who “twitters”. Honestly I drew a blank. I thought it was a place to show photos.

I get the impression only younger folks, folks who do not buy our remodeling services Twitter. Am I wrong here?

Our remodeling company has a website so I can see Twitter might help me get customers there if the right group is twittering.

Meanwhile we are considering an RE website (separate company) where we will list property for rent or sale, and Twitter seems like it would be a good fit for this.

Thanks I will check it out now.
