With the number of users increasing every day (over 500 million and counting), it\u2019s obvious Twitter is here to stay, at least for a while. Here are a few reasons why having a Twitter account can benefit you in your work life and your personal life!<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 <\/b>Connecting with your Peers<\/b><\/p>\n

Although they have similarities, Twitter and Facebook are two completely different platforms. Twitter allows you to connect with coworkers on the latest news, whether it\u2019s work-related or not. It\u2019s also a great place to look for a job if you\u2019re still looking. If you are, @msujobs<\/a> and @HelpingSpartans<\/a> are two worthwhile MSU accounts to follow.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 <\/b>Networking<\/b><\/p>\n

Job searching or not, networking is always a positive for your career. Twitter makes it easy to find other businesses and individuals with its search tools. You can search for accounts or search for terms that people are using. This can lead you to interesting conversations and people in your industry.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 <\/strong>Daily<\/b> News<\/b><\/p>\n

Twitter is an excellent source for your daily news. Every online news outlet has a Twitter account, and they tweet breaking news and headlines with links to articles throughout the day. A quick look at your Twitter-feed will keep you posted on the day\u2019s events.\"Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n
