So how do you go about getting your next assignment?

So I was just thinking today, I wonder how other travel nurses find there next assignments? In the past I have usually just called up my trusted recruiters and started asking questions. But I am really intrigued by the newer media types (facebook,twitter..etc) influence on getting new travel assignments. I have found my last couple assignments via them (facebook), so what has your experience been with them? If you use facebook what groups are your go to ones? Some of the ones I use are Travel nurses- job opportunities, ICU travel nurses, and this newer one Travel Nursing: Crisis rates and Emergency needs. If you do not use these newer media types what are you using?

I'm a relatively new traveler myself (since April) but I am currently working on shopping around for other companies/opportunities. I have found that by keeping an up to date LinkedIn profile, I have received multiple messages via LinkedIn from recruiters from different agencies. I haven't signed up for my next assignment yet but I've felt that it is a good way to keep your name out there and keep your options open. It also has led me to research a couple companies I hadn't heard of yet.
