Using Twitter to find a job

Just came across this interesting article written by Thursday Bram on using Twitter for job hunting to see whole article http://www.lifehack.org/articles/money/taking-your-job-hunt-to-twitter.html
In summary:
Twitter can offer a quick way to learn about who actually has a job to fill and perhaps even help you get your application on the top of the pile.
It’s All About the Hashtags
There are three hashtags that can come in handy to someone on a search for a new job. Keeping an eye on #rtjobs, #jobangels and #jobs can give you a look at who’s looking to actively recruit on Twitter. Even recruiters from companies like AT&T have started posting job listings, often labeling them with #jobs.
