If you've been on Twitter for any length of time, you know there are hundreds of API's (application programming interface) that have been built to help you use Twitter more effectively. There are apps to share photos, find fellow tweeters, manage your network, and more. In fact, at oneforty.com, they have over 2200 Twitter applications categorized and ready to install.
For Realtors, a local start-up has tackled the issue of aggregating and indexing real-estate specific tweets. Now, instead of having important, relevant content simply vanish in the twittersphere, savvy agents can tag these tweets and have DeedStreet.com do all the work! DeedStreet.com founder Doug Lazovick uses the ^ (caret) as a tag, much like the hashtag (#) is used by Twitter to tag groups. Go to DeedStreet.com and sign up (it's free) and simply use the ^ to tag your real estate tweets. For example, if you are sending a tweet about Gilbert area market data, tag the tweet with ^Gilbert. If the tweet covers general real estate, use ^^. That's all you have to do. In fact, you never have to login to DeedStreet again.
Over time, as you tag your tweets, DeedStreet.com becomes a repository for your real estate tweets. DeedStreet.com even ranks the individual Tweeters that have provided the most content for a specific term. As the site continues to develop and grow, new features are added. Users can now build out their profile on the site. There is also a DeedStreet.com widget for your blog. With this widget, only the tweets you tag for DeedStreet.com will be displayed. You can even select certain ^ tagged terms to filter the tweets displayed in the widget. You can see an example of the DeedStreet.com widget here.
This site is only a few months old and agents and lenders have an opportunity to get in on the ground floor and get those tweets saved, categorized, and indexed. A primary goal for DeedStreet.com is to build a consumer facing portal, allowing buyers and sellers to find targeted tweets and the agents that provided them. How often do you get a chance to be a part of something from the beginning? Check out DeedStreet.com and start using the ^.
