Hi guys, My 2 cents on this, as a regular Twitter user -- I follow a few organizations/companies on Twitter and I'm normally oblivious to their marketing messages on this network, however, I found it very useful when they "broadcast" things about their upcoming releases -- always good to know (I thought) that the next release is out and ready for download. Especially if users have been waiting for a fix to a certain bug or a certain feature to be implemented. Also perhaps things like voting on certain aspects of the ASF projects can be "broadcasted" via Twitter so users who are interested can get involved in the process on the dev ML? I don't think in the case of Commons, Twitter would help with the "brand building", but rather would provide a nice way for users to keep up to date, when overwhelmed by emails etc.
