Yes, it did tilt the earth slightly.

It may have also shortened the length of Earth's days by about 1.26 microseconds. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second. ~ Look to the related link below .

What day was the earth tilted on?

The Earth's axial tilt varies between 22.1° and 24.5° with a 42,000 year period, and at present, the tilt is decreasing. The earth is currently tilted on an axis of 23.5 degrees. The amazing thing is every time there is a major earthquake the tilt of the earth changes. NASA just released findings that the recent earthquake in Chile changed the tilt of the earth and shortened our day by 1.26 millionths of a second. Sumatra earthquake in December 2004 shortened the length of a day by 6.8 millionths of a second. So to answer your question... The earth changes tilt constantly but the most recent change was on February 27 2010.
