I just wrote a similar blog post about this as well on my own blog over the weekend -- great minds think a like.
Have you found any jobs through Twitter?

Hi Erin- the timing is funny. I had this post idea in mind for a long time but everything came together a few days ago and I'm glad to see the response it's getting.
I personally have not tried to job search on Twitter but I have seen others doing it successfully and I'm hoping to have inspired even more people with this article. I would definitely try the Twitter route next time myself. Actually you could say that I already have: http://twitter.com/jacobshare :)

I never figured that Twitter could even be used as a means to find a job! Hahahaha...
Still, if you're looking for a job, I suggest you try checking out http://www.peopleahead.com
It's a fairly new site but the job matches you'll get are pretty spot-on with what you're looking for.
They also happen to have an account on YouTube that's got some pretty funny and cute videos at http://www.youtube.com/peopleahead
Hope you find the job that you're looking for there!

This is very interesting. Never in a million years would I have thought about using twitter to find a job.
