Chris Mamone I agree with you. AR community is very active. I check Twitter and FB for news ( since I don't have tv) and AR for RE news. I just found out from AR that we are about to see a lot of changes this year( interest rate, closing statements, etc. etc.) Check it out: http://activerain.com/blogsview/4618570/where-is-the-hud-1-going-

Enough to almost ruin my relationship with my Margie. She hates Active Rain and calls it the other woman. I would say 2 hours a day.

How about you Debbie?

I spend too much time on social media. My facebook is filled with business stuff, news, and realtor pages so I can read and stay informed. I'd say probably 10 hours a week on social media. I've been addicted to AR because the community is so active on here I've gotten great advice from everyone!

Noah Seidenberg I am spending less and less as the market is heating up more and more. I understand totally about what you said about Margie. It can appear to be an obsession but if it is having big payoffs, we have to look at it as part of our job.

Debbie Gartner ... like so many others here, I spend an hour to two each day in one way or another utilizing social media or blogging.  Some days more ... some less, depending on the other demands of the day.  I will note however, that I have assistance with my marketing in other ways, as my wife is my marketing assistant.  That definitely helps me ...

I spend 2 -3 hours per day managing my social media presence. In reality, it has become a part of my natural course and flow of doing business throughout the day, so much of my time on LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, Google+ and Instagram is natural and fluid.

Debbie Reynolds - on an average about 30-45 minutes each day, including weekends  - so I'd say about 5 hours.

It feels good to stay in touch with your SOI - not  to mention, looking at the group activities.
