Use 3: Aggregation and curation
Like Topsy :
A social media search tool (has largest Twitter archive, back to 2007) featuring more than 400 billion pieces content. To make sense of it all, Topsy uses a ranking system that considers how often a piece of content is cited by others.
And paid like Geofeedia

Use 5: To keep up with (and then get out) news
Reporters have their own list of Twitter/Facebook/Pinterest, etc. feeds they check regularly.

Use 6: Reaction and comments
Many people comment first on social media. If you aren’t online, you won’t get it.
The more people you follow on Twitter, the more likely you are to come across a lead or a useful contact. Or reaction.

Use 8: Show a different side/share different information
Reporters tended to share more of themselves in tweets. On average, reporters included personal anecdotes in 39% of the week's tweets. As with other findings, there was a wide range when it came to how casual those reporters were in their Twitter persona.

Finally, some say it is helping your writing
“Having an audience, particularly a vocal one, helps. Knowing your tweet, Facebook post or Instagram caption is potentially going to reach thousands of people can be a good incentive to proofread your social media posts. The fact that tweets can spread so quickly (even if you’ve deleted them) is another good reason to proofread them.” Source
