Some helpful resources.
How many of you refer students to Twitter for their job/internship search? Twitter – you choose the message – not the recipient – in Facebook only your friends see your posts.
Twitter is having a bit of an identity crisis – people using Twitter for all sorts of purposes (i.e. deals, jobs, personal updates, political organizing, etc.) Examples: Receive updates on wildfires, Jetblue tickets for under $15.

Twitter users can update their stream with a tweet containing up to three hashtags they want to be included in and WeFollow adds their messages into the proper categories. Just Tweet It. Just Tweet it is similar to WeFollow ,it asks users to add themselves to the directory listing that's relevant to them. Whether it's writing, movies, or genealogy, the site covers every conceivable topic and it's very easy to use. MediaOnTwitter.

Why? Because they’re looking for you. They want to talk to you – so if you follow the rules of good conversation, your labor market will actually seek you out.” Source: Brand For Talent Zappos has good Twitter presence.

Doug Berg, co-founder of Jobs2Web said "We've had thousands of people visit our Web site from links on Twitter,“ And many find it more appealing to respond to a Twitter job posting, rather than a job board because it allows users to associate the posting with a real face and get to know the recruiter. "Twitter puts the humanity back into recruiting," he said. Students don’t want to be part of the “herd” and Twitter helps enable this.
