So, in general I'm something a social media Luddite - I still don't have a personal Facebook account, and, while I do have a Twitter account, I use it more as a news feed than anything else. That said, I'd actually vote for keeping these accounts and making use of them. While I don't use Facebook and am not a big Twitter poster, that is where a lot of users are and the way a lot of people get updates. It seems like growing the Guacamole user base, particularly as we gain development momentum here and work toward graduating into a full ASF project, will be better enabled by having those accounts around. -Nick
