Try typing keywords like SVRE, Gables End , townhomes or real estate to see what locals are saying about the housing market. An interesting trend is to see tech-savvy real estate agents and brokers use their smart phones to check-in to each open house on Broker Tour days and provide feedback via Twitter or leave feedback on those communities listed on geo-tagging sites like Foursquare and Gowalla. A great real-time client service!
Recently, SF Beer week was on twitter and it was fun watching nearby tweets recommend different ales and brews or pairings and tasting locations (Tied House, Gordon Biersch , Thirsty Bear Brewing ). Interested in art, music or wine? Try those keywords…you may hear about something new in the neighborhood!
