My reasoning was that the "Follow us" stuff is more about bringing people into the fold, whether they are on board for a Wikipedia Loves Libraries event or not. It's also using the main glam@wikimedia.org e-mail contact. I can see the argument for a more clearly "Wikipedia Loves Libraries"-branded Facebook or Twitter account, but I think part of the goal of WLL should be to increase awareness of our GLAM activities, and novelty accounts like that might do the opposite. A WLL-related hashtag might be a good idea, though I think we should talk about whether we don't just want people tweeting on the main #glamwiki hashtag. In any case, though, I think #WLL is probably not distinctive enough, and we might want at least #WLL2012 (#wikiloveslib?).

I was looking at the latest revision to the Wikipedia Loves Libraries page http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries
and noticed at the bottom it says:

"Follow us on T[witter] or F[acebook].

The Facebook link leads to the GLAMwiki page: https://www.facebook.com/GLAMWIKI.US

So should the Twitter link be to the @glamwiki account?

Or should both be about Wikipedia Loves Libraries? (I know there is neither a Twitter account or Facebook page for WLL).
