In terms of the university social media space, Professor Wesch has studied YouTube in his classroom and leveraged the tools quite effectively and his body of work on the subject is very respected:

In terms of social networking for teachers and educators interested in social media in the classroom there is a great community at Classroom 2.0, which I believe was even featured on the Ning blog:

http://www.classroom20.com/

The digital generation project at Edutopia is an interesting introduction to the overall ecosystem of innovative learning technologies (PBS has a special on this topic as well):

Tools like creating information dashboards with Netvibes or iGoogle as well as open source tools like Moodle are growing in popularity.
