Dwellgo’s Top Five Social Media Sites…

Dwellgo has recently jumped feet first into the Social Media world.  Now that we have our feet wet we want to invite all of our readers to join us.  This post will tell which sites we most actively participate in, and how they work.  It will also include how you can join us there, and become part of the current conversation.

Our first site to discuss is Facebook.blank li

Facebook is the booming community that allows that you to keep up with old friends, make new ones and network to promote your business.  Dwellgo has a page on Facebook that once you are a fan, allows you to see recent blog posts, contests, events, and discussions.  To view our Dwellgo page click here.

Twitter is the next networking site that Dwellgo is involved with.  Twitter stops blabbers from blabbing by limiting users to 140 characters per tweet.  Therefore it allows you to build networking relationships effectively and efficiently.

Again Twitter is a community that anyone can join.  Some social media sites seem to be a time suck without benefit; I can sincerely say Twitter is not one of those.  Yes, time is needed to build relationships and maintain conversation, but the benefits from networking on Twitter are endless. To join Twitter simply go to Twitter and select the green box below, Get Started - Join!

Also, to give you an idea of how popular Twitter has become view the graph below. This poll was recently taken asking Twitter users “On average how many times a day do you check Twitter ?” Dwellgo actually fits in the within the 61%.

The third Social Site to mention is Flickr. Flickr is a photo sharing site that allows you to post, view and find photos from all over the world.  To view photos only, you actually do not need an account.  But to upload photos, creating an account is simple.

Just by searching Dwellgo, without signing in, you will see:

The fourth site to mention is Vimeo.  Vimeo is a site that allows you to upload and search videos that are longer than ten minutes, the allowed time on YouTube.  Dwellgo uses Vimeo to upload any videos taken at Town Hall meetings, educational videos, How to videos, and any interviews conducted.  Videos are going to become a big part of Dwellgo in 2009 so getting familiar with the site will help you stay abreast to what we are doing!!  Currently if you go to this link you will be able to watch the 5 videos taken our last Town Hall Meeting.  See below…

Linkedin is a social site more directed towards professionals and the occupational side of life. It’s easy to get an account and once you have one, you can connect with people all over the nation.  It’s primary objective is to enable users to build a following of those they’ve worked or interacted with, as well as a place to write and receive recommendations.  You can also post specific questions, answers, and even jobs.  Linkedin allows users to show their support for companies and organizations, by joining groups.  Dwellgo has created a group on Linkedin for Real Estate professionals and enthusiasts to reach others with shared knowledge in the Real Estate industry.
