Social media is great for Justin Bieber, Paris Hilton, the Rock: their posts have millions of likes and they have millions of followers. At San Francisco last week at the Inman event Real Estate Connect it was claimed that social media is a wonderful tool for celebrities and may not be the panacea for our industry.
Logically could a cyber relationship ever override true human connection?
Aside: I acknowledge the irony of this cyber post.
Macca – check out “the audience” (http://theaudience.com/) and their use of social media – might this work in real estate? – Alex
I’m sure for many people the cyber connection is way better than what you deem the ‘true human connection’. However, in the real estate relationship the cyber connection should not be the ‘Only’ connection that excellent real estate agents make. Those that rely on ‘cyber’ as the ‘only’ way of connecting are running a doomed business based on the premise of social ‘notworking’ not social networking.

The magic bullet….. there is no such thing… Social Media is just one tool in the box…
