I will have to disagree with this, currently there isn't any information on
the other sites that isn't from a known QGIS source (expect maybe linkedin
although that is mostly discussion).

I think it is very important to maintain a online presence on all these
sites in order to communicate with the users of our software in the way
they feel most comfortable. I'm not saying that we should copy the wiki
content on to facebook, more that we use it as a PR tool in order to drive
people to the correct resources, be it blogs, qgis wiki, code etc.

If something comes up from the discussion on one of these sites that should
be documented on a offical qgis resource page.  In my mind the quickest way
to turn users off is to force them into a certain means of communication.
 If you want to chat on IRC, come on and talk; want to chat on Facebook, go
right ahead, spread the QGIS word; if you <3 LinkedIn, use that.    In the
end there are a few of us that watch each site to monitor what is going on
and I think, IMHO, it is going really well.
