2nd Printing

Twitter is described as a microblogging platform.Twitterers use the tool to push product, build brand awareness, instant message their friends, acknowledge and share links about trends and events and their most personal moments.

Twitter is a mashup of brilliance, idiocy, art, confusion, hyperbole, and prayer in 140-character-or-less sound bytes.

I think Twitter is even more ... Twitter is a reflection of the human soul.I've been Twittering since Sept. 8, 2007. Everything you need to know about me is contained in a bank of content there within a growing stream of some 1,750 140-character-or-less posts. My Twitter address is

http://twitter.com/FrancesFlynnTho.

Welcome to my soul.

Dedication Jeremiah Edward Flynn

I miss him this weekend ... his birthday is Tuesday, February 25and the family is gathering in New Jersey to celebrate.

The following is from a blog post I wrote in September, 2007:

My Dad used to work with words ... he is a brilliant writer and editor and he struggles with words these days ... over the last eight years his body and mind have been out of synch ... it is a frustrating consequence of Alzheimers ... and a bitter irony ... this man who taught me to talk, to count, and to read and write shares utterances that are often hard to match with the intent of his communication.

My sister Linda flew up from Dallas and we have been sharing ice cream and memories ....yesterday we had a treat neither of us was prepared to hear... Daddy spoke some special words and this time there was NO mistake about the meaning of his words ... when we parted with him for the day we hurriedly wrote his words so that we would never forget them.

"No clearer satisfaction did any father ever have with the participation of two daughters like you."

Self Discovery and Inspiration

Sometimes I read quotes that sound like they were written just for me and I share them ... they fit my self image ...

Abraham and I have become good friends since @joeann introduced us. Thanks, @joeann!

Cyber Alerts and Calls to Action

Recent changes in Facebook Terms of Service ignited a firestorm and new conversation about intellectual property. A simple "Retweet" (RT) shared a nugget proffered by a respected member of the television press, Jim Long.

He describes himself as a “new media soul trapped in an oldMedia body.” Sounds like me.

Shameless Promotion

I met these ladies at a thatched kiosk 12,000 feet in the Andes. We drank coca tea and smiled.They make good tea … pay them a visitand tell them Francisca sent you!

Book me!

Shared Passion and Advocacy

Twitter is a place where you can make a difference.You never know how many eyes will scan your text in the moments following a post, and those words are part of a massive data bank that others will visit and revisit over time.

Foreclosure and distressed homeowners.

While many real estate agents chase short sales and trying to carve their own slice of the loan modification pie, giants like Ralph Roberts are actually helping people who want to remain in their homes because it is the right thing to do. It gives me joy and satisfaction to be able to share some viralocity with Ralph.

I had a chance to share my two cents at a real estate confab at Harvard recently (from my warm desert digs in Tucson).

National Assn. of Realtors chiefeconomist Lawrence Yun hasa different view.

Child slavery and poverty ... advocates find their voice in blogs and Twitter. One day a volunteer Twitter Corps Retweeted messages on this theme, initiated by Jeff Turner of Real Estate Shows.

I used a manual typewriter in early years .. these days I cover meetings and conferences in bursts of Twitterese.

I am looking forward to a release that lets me spell check.

#icny is a hashtag for the Inman Real Estate Connect Conference in New York. The conversation continues even though the live event closed in mid January.

Brad Inman’s 10 Point Housing Crisis Plan

Typo … this is #8… Brad was speaking more quickly than I could Tweet!

Note: This Twitter stream became the source for a national survey conducted by Bill Wendel (@RealEstateCafe), a real estate professional and consumer advocate in Boston, who followed the Inman conference via Twitter. Survey results were the focus of a confab at Harvard’s Berkman Center several weeks later.

Transparency Is A Core Value

I aspire to be the most transparent person in the Twitterverse.

Life's journey sees me coming to new conclusions about the way I embrace the notion of "reasonableness."

Twitter Showdowns and Boot Hill

Troubled souls gather at Boot Hill in Tombstone and remember Wyatt Earp and the Clantons. Today we have showdowns on Twitter, not at lonely corrals.

Zillow vs. Trulia Showdown

Absolutely!

Prickly Pear EvangelismI yearn to be the High Priestess of Prickly Pear. That is my true calling!

Web 2.0 and prickly pear

are essential ingredients for a joyful,

transparent life and success!

Social media guru Todd Carpenter (@tcar) from the National Assn. of REALTORS is a Peach

Passionista! That’s OK … I am ecumenical

when it comes to fruit passion.

Did I Mention Twitter Is Fun?

Imagine that … first @Joeann finds her imageon @SethGodin ‘s “Triibes” cover and then shefinds her painted toes in “Twittersoup for the Soul.”

Paddling downstream with the momentumof the current is much more fun thanPaddling upstream … think about it.

Cross-dressing on Twitter is not only NOT taboo, it is encouraged … a way to honor fellow Twits!

A Twoosh is a Twitter post that contains140 characters, the maximum numberof characters possible. I like to start My day with a good Twoosh … sometimesI Twoosh several times a day.

Try it!

Your life will never be the same!
