I had written a post about the value of entertainment in real estate video. While I think video should be of fairly decent quality so that the consumer can judge the attributes of the home, the product doesn’t have to look like it was produced by Steven Spielberg.
Okay- it can’t look like the Blair Witch Project, either. Hold your hand steady, don’t make the viewer sick by whipping around from side to side, and if you will be speaking, make your voice sound natural. To see my three favorites, check here.
That really got me thinking- about video, about blogging, about online interaction- and off-line as well, I suppose. I have heard people complain about twitter as far as interaction goes. I decided to scout out one of these people and see what they were up to and this was the total of their commentary:

Just posted on ActiveRain… Day after day, THAT WAS IT! Would you watch the station on TV that was all ads?
Which leads me to this morning. I saw a post on twitter by @theRealClint (who is here on Active Rain- Clint Miller of RECR) with the comment “Google is Funny” and a link. Well, okay, I bit that bait, and saw this:
Okay, maybe you might be offended by it, but dang! This is funny- and playful! I checked other words out, and I think Google is doing this intentionally on the broadly used words what, who, and where because I didn’t see it for more narrow scopes. You can check it out for yourself if you have time.
But my point is this. If your interaction level on twitter is less than that of a search engine, maybe it is time to step it up before complaining. You have a chance to be seen before potentially thousands of people, and all it costs you is a little time.
