I'm not sure there is a gap since used appropriately, the spaces you mention can be about professional development, particualrly in the creative industries where the personal/professional crossover so much. My facebook friends list contains everyone from work colleagues to professional contacts to old schoolfriends - work/personal gets intertwined. For me, at the moment, twitter is the key that locks together my social media profiles. I use it to tell people what I'm doing right now, be it gardening or reporting from a conference, it automatically updates my facebook profile and I can push out links to new blog postings.
