Social networking site, Twitter has been receiving quite a bit of media coverage over the last couple of months. Most notably with the Iranian presidential conflict where Twitter was the only means to deliver the latest news in the area. Now it seems Twitter is here to stay, with ubiquitous ‘tweets’ filtering into our daily lives.

This being said, Foreclosure Research has decided to jump on board. Recently we added the twitter icon and link to the navigation bar on the Web site. You don’t have to be a member of Twitter to check out our page, but being a member makes it a little more interesting. Our Twitter link is: http://twitter.com/frclsrResearch We had to shorten our name because ForeclosureResearch was too long.

Foreclosure Research tweets will be good for those readers that want to catch the latest foreclosure and media news in a somewhat extreme, cliff note’s version. Tweets can only contain 140 characters a piece, leaving them jam-packed with juicy, news-worthy information.

It seems all industries and all types of individuals have infiltrated Twitter, leaving no category unturned. In our industry- real estate, media and journalism there are reporters, newspapers, realtors and brokers all offering the latest industry news or self-promotional tid-bits. As for breaking news, those that are on Twitter are most likely to hear it first, as newspapers and TV news stations still have to make a concerted effort.

Here are some tweets from the Foreclosure Research network:
