Mashable.com is one of the largest and most trafficked blogs on the Internet. It keeps track of such social networking giants as Facebook, Myspace, Youtube and Bebo, plus many other social networking sites. When a new social networking site is created, when an existing one adds a new feature, when there are problems with a networking site, Mashable reports it.

There is a lot to be said for using social networking sites to promote and sell your real estate. Social networking sites are home to millions of users, some of which, it must be allowed, are searching for property. The social networking phenomenon is a relatively new one, though, so it pays to keep track of what applications and updates can benefit you as a realtor. This is where Mashable comes in.

A casual search on Mashable.com for keywords relating to real estate nets articles about Trulia.com integrating their search with Google Streetview, Zillow.com’s funding being now worth $87 million, and the introduction of propertyqube.com, a new social network for people interested in real estate. And these are just three examples of information relating directly to the real estate industry on a popular blog that doesn’t target it as a subject.

For the busy realtor, a site that keeps track of innovations in the social networking scene can be invaluable for taking advantage of the latest and hottest sites, features, and applications. If you’re using multiple social networking sites to promote your real estate, it can be time consuming to keep track of the latest innovations and websites.

Mashable isn’t just a passive information repository. It also has an active community, a web-related marketplace and hosts a huge social network grid where you can search for fellow Mashable members on popular networking sites.

Finding out what potential clients are using to keep connected and how to connect to them is a crucial element of using the Internet to find property buyers. Mashable.com makes a great shortcut and is a huge repository of information for the social network-minded realtor.
