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. :)
