I was commenting on this thread about freelancing outside of the United States and mentioned that blogs, face book and twitter were useful for finding jobs. A few others said that they weren't very useful.
I've read lots of articles talking about how these social networks can be useful, but until recently couldn't use any of them and I'm still blocked from several. So my actual experience with blogs is limited to the last week.
What are peoples experiences with getting jobs or the lack thereof and social networks?
P.S. I tried using search to make sure it hasn't been done before, but its not being friendly right now.
