I personally think we should encourage and use the
free software
alternatives like identi.ca, diaspora so that the event takes an
opportunity to promote these media which protects user's freedom.
By linking your account to other facebook or twitter followers to
identi.ca account you will help tell the world that microblogging can be
done with free software as well and your event supports/sponsors identi.ca.
I do hope the mediawiki conference supports free social media and uses this
occasion to spread this message among the wikimedians.
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. :)
