With movements (such as @jobangels - whose purpose is to connect job seekers with networking contacts and opportunities), actual job postings and chances to make those all important "loose" connections, people are finding jobs using Twitter, but more importantly, they are growing their networks. Since a large percentage of jobs are found via networking, in my opinion, the opportunity to grow that "loose" network is still what makes Twitter worthwhile.
