Twitter- and Facebook-user here, and I look forward to seeing links to those sites on the OSM page. Perhaps a 'Share this map' button alongside the Permalink/Sharelink links (it's basically an extension of the same idea, but saves the effort of doing copy and paste).

    I think it is ok for us to post stuff to Twitter, and I think we
    should make room for such news on our web page (many web sites
    have a widget that shows the most recent twitter mentions).

    I would dislike a "follow us on Twitter" button because it will
    only show the Twitter signup page if someone doesn't have an
    account, and therefore make it look like you had to subscribe to
    Twitter in order to read our news - which is thankfully not true.


I think this would be missing our audience. If you're illiterate (a group Twitter caters specifically to), what are the odds you're going to be able to make use of a map, much less contribute constructively to OSM?
