Business Insider’s “The Best Finance People On Twitter”

Well I’ve locked myself in my office for the past few days placing the finishing touches on the upcoming week’s (Thursday) housing market reports for Long Island and Hamptons/North Fork but noticed about 500 new followers on my twitter account.

Business Insider, the giant blog aggregator with an online newsroom, placed me on their “The 101 Finance People You Have To Follow On Twitter“

The only name noticeably absent (has to be an oversight!) is my friend Barry Ritholtz who is a twitter content machine, known to wear Ted Baxter ties.

Very cool to be on the list with the very people I already love to follow. Thanks @BusinessInsider!

This is borderline brilliant: a Tucson, Ariz., house newly listed for $1.025M is marketing itself through @IAMAHouse1, its very own Twitter handle. Created by the homeowners' son (and not to be confused by the English dormitory personified by the Twitter handle @iamahouse), @IAMAHouse1 has been live since Saturday and includes a mix of clever selling tactics ("Yep, it's November and I'm going for a dip in the pool. You hear that Wisconsin? #gottalovearizona") and philosophical quotes about homeownership ("Home is where one starts from. - T. S. Eliot #quote.")

As for the property itself, here are the vitals, stripped of brokerbabble terms such as "charm and "grace": built in 1980, it offers 4,000 square feet, three bedrooms, four bathrooms, fireplaces, French doors, a pool, and a "spa patio." Photos right here:

Folio has just released a list of the top 50 most-followed magazine brands on Twitter—People obviously ranks No. 1. Just when the cold absence of shelter magazines starts sinking in—wait!—there's Dwell, clocking in proudly at No. 35. As we've established before, things like spartan prefab housing outside Zurich or a sliced-open bunker in Holland are among the brightest spots in our days. Kudos to our lovable San Franciscan cousins for their social media knowhow.
