Going back on topic, I use LinkedIn. Although it can be compared to other social networking sites, it's purpose is as a professional contact management tool and somewhere you can get referrals for work that interests you.

It's already payed off for me when I discovered that someone I had to interview had worked with a friend of mine previously. Getting a direct recommendation is far more useful than and interview or reference.
