Some people in the world are still trying figure out ‘What Is Twitter?’ All I know is it can be a helpful resource when it comes to health, news and today’s political topics. With the unemployment rate at 11 percent, I found it interesting that you can follow job openings and useful career tips on Twitter.

I’m very glad that Twitter can be used as a helpful resource, more than just a way to find out what the heck Ashton Kutcher is doing. So with that said, I put together a list of twitter pages that will help you with your job search.

The answers are in! In the June 10 edition of the Eastern Wake News, we asked the question “Why do you Twitter?” Here are some of the answers we received:

Donovan Parker, Zebulon: “Just saw it as a social trend and decided to try it for a while. Can't knock it until you try.”

Sade Dunston, Raleigh: “I tweet because it gives me an inviting avenue to express random thoughts and share entertaining things I encounter every day that I just wish everyone could be around to see. I talk a lot and it's like having 24-hour access to millions of people.”

Rachena Shamarr, Raleigh: “I was bored and wanted to see what all the hype was about. Also, I update my status on Facebook a lot and thought it would be a different way of expressing. I have been impressed with some of the people that I have met just because of seeing their personal views and seeing that they are just regular people.”

Shameka Harrington, Knightdale: “I guess the same thing that makes me want to Facebook. It's just curiosity about what's new and staying in touch with people. I like that a lot of celebs Twitter. It's kind of like you know them personally when they update their status about being hungry or something.”

Jay Spaan, Raleigh: “My stepmother tells me I should. I feel like it’s people knowing more about me than I want them to know.”

Rhonda Lunsford, Zebulon: “I like to see what celebrities are up to. Its interesting because the things that some of them say they wouldn’t say on TV.”

Melody DeJongh, Wendell: “Oh, because I wanted to do it but there is no one on twitter for me to follow.”

Kenley Newsome, Knightdale: “I do it because it’s something that is a trend like MySpace and FaceBook and now Twitter.

Courtney Renee, Wendell: “To see what all the hype is about. Everybody twitters. Once Beyoncé said she was on there I was up there.”

Lynn Hall, Zebulon: “It's a quick, convenient way to update friends who use it. Besides, I heard so much about it and wanted to see what all of the fuss was about.”

"To borrow a Jeffrey Ross joke, Javier Bardem couldn't make it because he was making love to a supermodel on a bed a cash."

The N & O wanted me to remind you every so often that I'll be live-Twittering the Oscars this evening over at my exclusive Twitter page. At the moment, I'm watching Ryan Seacrest make whichever celeb that comes his way uncomfortable with his awkward questions. (No wonder Brangelina wanted nothing to do with him.) So, nothing's really popping off as of yet.

But I'll keep ya posted.
