With the number of users increasing every day (over 500 million and counting), it’s 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!
1. Connecting with your Peers
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’s work-related or not. It’s also a great place to look for a job if you’re still looking. If you are, @msujobs and @HelpingSpartans are two worthwhile MSU accounts to follow.Continue Reading… Can Twitter be useful to me?
