Social Networking: New way of recruiting people

What do you think is the future of recruitment agencies? More and more companies are using social networking and Web 2.0 for their recruitment needs. Recruitment Agencies aka 'Headhunters' have observed downward trend and they are keen on future of their business.

It is also evident that people of so called "Digital Generation" does not communicate in same way as our seniors are doing. We love online space and it is becoming a tool to follow our interests, passion and career goals. There are plenty of groups, newsletters and communities available for one to stay in touch with latest happenings in the industry. Also, professional networking and personal referrals are becoming buzz for new age job applications. News reports says that twitter is playing roll of headhunter for many recruiters.

My question is that if this is going to be the case for next generation job recruitment, what will be the scenario like? Is there any chance of people faking their profiles and pretending to be someone what they are actually not!
