Where Does Your Brain Put Social Media?

My 2nd iPhone screen - news fraternizing with communication
Mine, apparently, puts it with news.
Or so I discovered when I finally cleaned up some iTunes mess I had made and downloaded the lastest iPhone software.
iOS 4.3 allows you to group your apps into categories and move them around to the screen of your choice.
I found myself with a dilemma:
Do I put my Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, TweetDeck, etc. apps with iTunes, NetFlix and the like, or with my news apps?
[Spoiler alert: you’re about to see where I get my news – extrapolate about my world views at will]
I switched them back and forth a few times but settled on the social media/news co-mingling.
To me this felt very telling. I was grouping together my information sources, formal and informal.
Travel apps grouped in a folder - sweet.
These are the sources I consult when I want to know what’s happening – in the world, in business, with my friends and family.
Five years ago, my wellsprings of data were very different.
Were yours?
