I find it interesting that so many top-tier social offerings leverage various shades of blue (facebook, twitter, yammer, linkedin). There are multiple psychology discussions (color theory, herd mentality, etc.) in there somewhere.
To be honest, at first glance I was reminded of Yammer's iPhone icon. But I think this treatment stands on its own.
Very much like Yobongo publicly discussing their brand's visual evolution.

The color was very intense, and after several hours of real work I could feel flash burns :) Blue is also cold and is also associated with "clean", making associations with the "future" natural (e.g. ultraviolet lights, robots, etc...); in contrast red is associated with getting help, humans or feelings.
