Thanks for the numbers! It's interesting to see we're still pretty pretty 
small here, the gnomies have an about 10 times larger facebook page, not sure 
about linked-in.

- We should have badges to facebook and linked-in on kde.org
- Dot posts should go in there for sure, automated if possible

Otherwise, we want to help ppl connect to each other - so maybe start 
discussions like 'how do you use KDE apps professionally' (linked-in) or 'post 
a pic of your desktop' (facebook).

BTW thanks you're trying to get some live in this. As I wrote, we need to help 
ppl connect, it should therefore be not too much work for us. I'd prefer to 
automate content generation and let the community take care of the rest. For 
that - it needs to grow first, apparently ;-)

One way of doing that would probably be badges on kde.org. Youtube also still 
needs integration on kde.org, unfortunately I haven't heard from James Cain in 
a while...
