Of the ones listed in the subject, I would suggest Twitter is the most 
valuable. It has been great for release and other announcements. I find 
Facebook and G+ a little odd for software projects personally, though I guess 
they could be useful if you wanted to have somewhat longer "posts". But of 
course that's also yet more for someone to have maintain.

One additional consideration is that some people will inevitably attempt to 
elicit technical support over these channels. I generally have to steer people 
to the mailing list immediately.

Hi All,

Just posting to elicit thoughts about scipy.org having a presence in social
media for announcements.
