NEW YORK CITY-RealShare Net Lease drew over 250 attendees across the commercial real estate sector to the Marriott Marquis in Times Square here. Many present were active on social networks, particularly Twitter, and they share their views throughout the day.

As noted previously, more commercial real estate entities are starting to accept and use social media as a means of communication. One siginicant way in which Twitter can be leveraged is during live events, as followers of @GlobeStLIVE or @GlobeStcom may have noted. For this particular conference, participants and remote observers were able to track discussions and panels with the hashtag #RSNet12.
