This Thursday, May 16, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, the White House launches a brand new Google+ Hangout series, #WeTheGeeks. The series will highlight the future of science, technology, and innovation here in the United States. All Hangouts will take place on the White House Google+ page.
Listen, I know you’re busy. When I first started this blog I considered making the tagline, “Putting in the man hours so you don’t have to.” I enjoy doing this research and I want to make it as easy as possible for you to always be in-the-know on all things social. If you read nothing else this week, this run down will keep your social and tech IQ above the rest. Rest easy, busy one, I’ve got your back.
Go ahead and copy and paste your favorite links and send them to your boss, co-workers, peers. They’ll remember (in case they forgot) what a rockstar you are. (Or you can always forward a copy of this post.)
The folks at PeekAnalytics are to thank for this nifty infographic.

Today at 3 p.m. ET, the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics is hosting a virtual town hall. Looks like Obama’s success is sparking more government officials to host an online dialogue. That’s why this is a FAVE.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and José Rico, executive director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics will take questions via twitter and respond via this Ustream channel.
The town hall will be moderated by Elianne Ramos and Cheryl Aguilar from LATISM, a nonprofit social media outlet aimed at advancing the social, economic and educational status of the Latino community.
On twitter? Ask questions in advance and during the forum using the hashtag #hispaniced and follow @HispanicEd.
The conversation will be conducted in both English and Spanish.
