A recent survey conducted by AddToAny shows that Facebook users share more links to information than any other site out there. In fact, the spread between Facebook and e-mail (2nd place) is over two times as much. Just a short time ago, e-mail dominated link sharing but social networking has taken over and now has a greater reach worldwide.
What does this mean for the real estate industry? In my opinion, the days of agents sending out e-mail blasts telling the world about their new listing are numbered. The world is choosing to communicate differently. People want a more personal interaction with who they are going to do business with in the future. Does this mean you ought to abandon e-mail? No. It just means that real estate agents should not assume that their future business wants to communicate this way.
NOTE: AddToAny is a maker of one of the most popular widgets that lets content sites provide their readers with an easy way to share stories across multiple social media sites. I use the AddToAny widgets in the sidebar of this blog.
