<div class="gmail_quote">I personally think we should encourage and use the free software alternatives like <a href="http://identi.ca" target="_blank">identi.ca</a>, diaspora so that the event takes an opportunity to promote these media which protects user's freedom. <br>
<br>By linking your account to other facebook or twitter followers to <a href="http://identi.ca" target="_blank">identi.ca</a> account you will help tell the world that microblogging can be done with free software as well and your event supports/sponsors <a href="http://identi.ca" target="_blank">identi.ca</a>. <br>
<br>I do hope the mediawiki conference supports free social media and uses this occasion to spread this message among the wikimedians.</div></blockquote><div> </div></div>I think its best not to confuse / group free knowledge and free software always. The primary intent of engaging in social media is to promote / reach out about the mission, not free social media. If you wish to promote Wiki Conference / Wikimedia in any of the free social media you mentioned, please come forward. Other social media will anyways link to it since it will have the content. :)<div>
