I agree with you about the right questions, but I'd also say that the right question might be different for different media.

Kids I teach at U Maryland and American (so really young men and women), seem to be into livejournal right now, too. I wonder about the utility of devoting resources to using specific platforms like these if they are going to wind up "uncool" in a year or two. Also, while I'm a huge advocate for using electronic medial to supplement classroom study, I suspect that asking the right questions - the ones that will make them talk- is more important than using the right media. This looks cool.
