twittering thru a transaction - is that what's next?

In the past few weeks I've had several occassions where I've called on the availability of a listing and received a text message back from the listing agent. I'm cool with that. I like my iphone and I enjoy texting. Then twice in the last 3 weeks I've had a scenario where from availability to offer to counter offer acceptance the entire transaction was done via email and I never got to speak to the listing agent even once! Now I love gadgets (told you i'd be stir crazy if I ever lost my iphone) and techonology, damn it I own a technology company for heavens sake but yet I find that some times in business you need to have a good old phone conversation as well - hey it worked for years didn't it? Well, so i'm wondering what's next - are we ready to discuss availability on properties and negotiate offers via twitter? If so follow me on

Happy Friday folks

Uzi, reading this post has made me feel like a very old dog.  I'm OK until you get to the Twitter Transaction thing!

I can remember in the older House Hunters episodes, the buyers agent would personally present the offer to the seller's agent.  I guess when people are getting married over webcam and couple can tweet or IM each other in the same house it's coming....  Tweet Away!!!
