Italo, sorry for being misleading here - it is not about limiting the
impact of any marketing activity. The twitter messages will be available
in their network, so outside the LibreOffice website there won't be any
changes. If I understand Sophie's message correctly, it will even get
better :-)

What this discussions might kick of is, to decide whether we (being an
open-source project) want to present commercial services on the LibO
frontpage - especially since there is an open alternative. I think, this
would also be a good sign for developers interested in FLOSS - to
present a deep relationship with other open projects.

However, since I'm not the one who likes to use Twitter or identi.ca,
this is a decision for the Marketing.

@ Florian: Finally you get pinged as well ...

Cheers,
Christoph
