I agree with a lot that has been said here, and would add that when GNOME uses Twitter, we generally do so via Identi.ca, so that our dents are pushed through to Twitter and indicated as such, which is a nice little plug for freedom too. I think it's important to choose all of our services carefully. Thanks for raising the initial question, Alex, and everyone else for chiming in. karen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
