Janice, great question! I love this image as well... you should Tweet it at Henrik & @EdLabTC! ;) My social media conduit of choice is Twitter... I even have founders reach-out to me that way or send a thank you after an event etc. I think it is the most easily curated, relevant and least redundant source of "news."

Great question! I think it really depends on the purpose of the interaction!

I still have a soft spot in my heart for facebook on a personal level. I post fun pictures from the weekend, wish friends a happy birthday, and I like to see what other people are up to.

And I also love pinterest, but for two very specific personal endeavors. The first is cooking, it's so easy to search for something like "spring dinner" or "asparagus" and to see an array of dinner options. I have found many great recipes on pinterest. The second reason I use pinterest is wedding planning...for every decision I make, I first peruse ideas and options on pinterest.

But in a professional sense, I actually still use google reader. I use it as an RSS feed to stay up to date on blog posts and I usually express field related questions in the comments sections of blogs. I also think a professional twitter account is a good place to express project ideas or even grandiose missions for society reform, education reform and how we should move forward with information literacy.

lol This is embarrassing to admit but I'm probably the only one in the lab whose active on Google+. I like the way they let you organize you followers, and I'm usually posting or commenting about space and STEM things.
