LinkedIn always know as a professional social network but Twitter recently get good activity in this field. There are to many company using twitter to recruit new people. If you search with ‘Job’ keyword you will see lot of web based recruiting service offering job. I think Facebook, yet not a good place for job hunting. I don’t know what I do there. Nobody care anything, every now and then getting invitation, cause, request and other junk thing. Twitter is lot better and simple.

I don’t think Indian companies are taking Twitter and Facebook seriously (most of them are blocked in office) so it is very hard to find job from these websites. Linkedin is superb website for finding jobs and work very well in India.
For freelancing work, Twitter and Facebook works well inIndia.
i have tweeted your site to twitter
