NAR chitchat on Twitter: chocolate sculptures and more

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The National Association of Realtors is twittering about its Midyear Legislative Meetings and Trade Expo, an annual event in the nation's capital.

Twitter.com is a site that allows users to instantly share text messages with a Web audience, and can function as a sort of real-time, train-of-thought blogging platform.

Some twitter tidbits from NAR: "Strangest sight of the day: Iwo Jima and Einstein made out of chocolate, outside Thurgood Marshall North meeting room" at the conference site.

And the NAR Twitter site shares insight from Ebby Halliday, 97, founder and chairman of the board for Texas brokerage company Ebby Halliday, Realtors, who spoke on Tuesday: "reason for her longevity -- 'I don't drink, don't smoke and I don't retire' (big laugh and applause from the audience)."

NAR's conference Twitter site: http://twitter.com/nar_midyear, and you can follow the Twitter posts on mobile devices by texting "follownar_midyear" to 40404.
