How Twitter Can Help You...or Hurt You

Twitter is a social networking site that allows users to tweet a status that can only be 140 characters long.  However, there are many features.  For instance, you can attach videos and pictures to your tweets, or you can add links in your tweets.  Twitter also has a feature called direct messaging where you can privately message someone a 140 character long sentence. Another feature is that people can favorite or re-tweet your tweet if they really like it.

Twitter is literally "trending" today.  Around five hundred million people have a Twitter account and are posting their content, whether it be personal opinions, advice, or even business information.  Twitter has not only become a popular networking site for friends and family, but for business owners as well.  Tweeting or direct messaging has become a useful and easy tool for business men and women to communicate with each other.  

So what does this mean for you?  Why would it be useful for you to get a Twitter account?  Well, one of the greatest things you can do on Twitter is portray yourself as a source where people can get relevant and useful information. Think about it this way.  You are looking for a job in a specific field.  If you began tweeting really good information pertaining to that field, you will be likely to gain followers that are in that same field as you.  Many of these people will probably also re-tweet your tweets, which will help to create more of an awareness as to who you are and what you do.  This builds connections, which could also possibly lead to job opportunities.  However, be careful when tweeting personal opinions.  You never know who could be reading them.  Tweeting can help or harm your reputation.
