Most folks use Twitter to keep up with friends or rant about whatever’s now rubbing them the wrong way. But, there are so many other ways to use the social media platform outside of microblogging. These nine inspired uses for Twitter aren’t just for those in online marketing, but for anyone who is looking for a little assistance in their daily lives.

Hopefully, some of you out there have run a contest via Twitter. If not, give it a try. Contests are always a solid method to attract and connect customers and Twitter makes it pretty easy. There are many simple contests that you can create on Twitter counting photo contests, question and answer, retweet to win, or a follower landmark.

Keep your Twitter account professional with an appropriate avatar, offer a link to your resume, and try to follow key people in your field. You can also receive targeted job tweets on your feed or find opportunities at TweetMyJobs.
