Is Social Networking Just a Passing FAD?

Say What? Social Networking a Passing Fad?
Earlier today a broker approached me and asked if Social Networking was a passing fad or if she needed to learn what is was all about.
I asked her if she knew anyone in early 2007 that said "There is no way I am ever going to do short sales!"

She smiled! and the conversation went through all sorts of technology changes, answering machines, email, voice mail, mobile phones, cell phones, and smart phones those who have embraced the newer technology and moved forward usually succeeded in business.

She said "Paul the reason I am asking you is I see all the success that you are having with your Hands On Workshops in Active Rain, Google, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Blogger etc. and I just wanted to know if you really believe I need to do this for my business or if it is a fad?

I said "I believe within 4 years email will not be the same as we know it today"

"Two Words.. Google Wave"

Bill Risser and I are by no means experts in Social Media.
We are just two geeks from Chicago Title Insurance Company in Arizona that are Passionate about Social Media and want to share our passion of Social Media with others.

We are just paying it forward, if your business can grow because of what you learned in our series of our Hands On Workshops,(http://www.MyTitleGuyPaul.com ) then you will share this knowledge with others. Whenever we hold a workshop there is always one student, that says I am never going to do this, by the end of the class they have embraced it with both arms! It is so enriching to see a non believer become a believer.

Go to our Gilbert Blog and read some of the Testimonials of past students on the lower right side of blog.

I have personally invited over 60 People to join Active Rain, We have helped over 100 people open Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn accounts.. Just two Geeks socializing the universe one REALTOR at a time.

She is going to join us in a new series starting in January. Mission Accomplished!
