I can't say that I have been directly hired via it though. It has been a great way to keep abreast of the business life of my current and past friends and associates though. It also has been a great resource when I need the professional expertise and recommendation of someone I know already. LinkedIn has worked great for me.

I also have some problems with the system. I haven't found a way to add online blogging friends without having worked with them in some capacity. I can't recommend classmates or former professors after I graduate. I just don't find it exciting any more. I think posting a resume to a blog and commenting on other blogs is a much better way to network for journalists.
