Researching for an essay, research paper, or even a dissertation has become much easier today than it was just a few years ago. With the advent of mediums like Twitter and Facebook, getting information, validating it, discussing opinions and even putting together data that can help you arrive at essential insights has become extremely easy.

Twitter and Facebook are mediums that can help you study efficiently and below there are four ways in which you can use these tools to your advantage.

1) Discussions: You could start a special page on Facebook that is dedicated to the topic that you need information and inputs on. You could also do the same with Twitter by discussing your topic with people who follow you. Facebook allows you to share videos you may have come across with a larger audience so as to discuss ideas that may be relevant to your project.

2) Research: Both Twitter and Facebook are excellent tools for market research. A simple post can give you opinions from all people who are on your list. You could also create special surveys on Facebook so as to get an idea of how your ideas will be accepted. Based on the information you get on this medium you can complete your project, research paper, or dissertation.

3) Follow: Experts in your field are bound to have a page on Facebook or an account on Twitter. It is imperative that you latch on to these pages and follow them with your heart and soul. You may not realize it but along the way, you will accumulate pearls of wisdom that you can use to complete your projects. When you follow experts or professionals in your field of interest, you will be privy to information that is not only theoretical but also makes practical sense.

4) Stay active: Do not just create an account and simply use it only for social networking. While that is the primary reason for the site, the potential is a whole lot more. So, you must exploit it. Stay active on both your Twitter and Facebook accounts and collect information, let experts and peers review your work and give you feedback.

These are a few ways in which Twitter and Facebook can help you achieve academic excellence. The world is changing and so should you. Marketers all across the world are using these platforms to collect information that can help shape the future of their brands and you should too so that you can carve a bright future for yourself. 

However, what you need to be careful about is the credibility of the information. You need to validate all the information you collect. If you latch on to someone who claims to be an expert, make sure that you validate his credibility and only then trust his word.
