Social Media Wheel
This is one of the coolest infographics I’ve seen in awhile – it’s officially called “The Conversation Prism 4.0”. Still not sure what you’re looking at? Well…
Developed in 2008 by Brian Solis, The Conversation Prism is a visual map of the social media landscape. It’s an ongoing study in digital ethnography that tracks dominant and promising social networks and organizes them by how they’re used in everyday life.

Where Your 2012 Federal Income Taxes Went
I would argue that education, energy / environment, science, and transportation are all absolutely critical to the future of our nation. Unfortunately only 8 cents of every dollar that the Federal Government takes goes towards those programs. Not to say the other expenditures aren’t important but I’d be inclined to reallocate how our money is spent.
