- Ardour has...49 followers on facebook... Nothing on the wall...

Unbelievable that we are missing the chances here. You would expect
that opensource projects (like Ardour) see these social media as a
godsend.
Hi Aurélien,
as a developer of hydrogen let me chime in here.. I think it could be
a good idea
to think a little bit about the "marketing" of our applications. At
the moment
the presentation of hydrogen is more or less restricted to our
homepage and our mailing lists.
Underground! ;)
I've posted rarely to a facebook group (i think you didn't find it),
but that was all. It's hard and cumbersome to use all channels at
once (twitter, google+, etc...) if all you want to do is publish a
release notification or something like this..
There are social media clients which can handle multiple accounts very
well. One message will be posted on all your accounts (e.g. twitter,
identica, facebook, ...)
I know I know, we are not advertisers, we are developers!
But what if a small group of us (and yeah, including me :)) would do
that?
Right, not all developers are good in marketing or project management
(binding users, cooperation with other devs, donations etc.). But why
not ask a enthusiastic user to start a twitter account for the project
and report news, howtos and interact with users/ reviewers etc.

MuseScore is @youtube @twitter @identica @facebook ...
And youtube and twitter seems to be nicely integrated in the latest version:
