I'll admit-- when I first heard about Twitter, I thought it was the silliest idea ever. Over time, I've slowly come around and can begin to see its usefulness. It is an interesting way to keep up on topics and people that interest you.

Twitter also has some interesting search applications. In fact, this one is kind of creepy: DemandSpot searches social media to find potential home buyers and sellers in a certain area. For example, someone in the Billings area posted the message "house hunting today :)" to their Twitter account, and this site picked it up. Presumably, twitter-connected realtors will now be stalking that potential homebuyer.

Anyway, you can now see a Twitter sidebar and you can find me under the username billingshousing. I'll use this to post quick links, articles, and other tidbits that don't warrant a full blog post. If you want to follow me on Twitter or just check it every now and then, feel free. And if you still think Twitter is the silliest idea ever, that's OK too!
