Reawakening this thread, now I've found out how this microblogging thing works 
;-)

In addition to echoing Jos' question above, here's a recent mail from someone 
on kde-windows:

He was asking about whether there's a KDE Windows account on Twitter

I pointed him to http://community.kde.org/Promo/Material/social_media but we 
could still do with tracking down that kde account on identi.ca and pushing 
the official channels on kde.org

In a perfect world, we could have dedicated accounts for some of the sub-teams 
(if this particular guy is only interested in KDE on Windows then the kde 
twitter account is mostly noise to him) but I accept the point Lydia made 
earlier in this thread about there being no point in creating accounts unless 
we/the relevant teams use them.
