Some Top Tips for Innovating with social media:
Share what you know - it's good networking karma!
Let friends and collegues know you are interested in hearing about what they do/know.
Don't be afraid to suggest new ideas and ask what might seem like silly questions.
Think about how anything you want to do can be achieved and how it fits into your area of work.
Always be reasonable and aware of conduct/style when blending work, social media, and personal life.
If you fancy gaining new skills have a go - it's always a good idea as long as you find it fun/interesting!
Meet people in your sector on or offline so you know who to ask and work with (before you need to).
But there is also SO much more 
super cool stuff out there...
Open Source TV!
Educational Manga!
Automatic Animation!
Beautiful Visualisations
Virtual Graduations
Augmented Reality!
And.... Haggis & Mash in 2010... 
Innovative Tech Art

Thanks!
