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.
