My reasoning was that the "Follow us" stuff is more about bringing
people into the fold, whether they are on board for a Wikipedia Loves
Libraries event or not. It's also using the main glam(a)wikimedia.org
e-mail contact. I can see the argument for a more clearly "Wikipedia
Loves Libraries"-branded Facebook or Twitter account, but I think part
of the goal of WLL should be to increase awareness of our GLAM
activities, and novelty accounts like that might do the opposite. A
WLL-related hashtag might be a good idea, though I think we should talk
about whether we don't just want people tweeting on the main #glamwiki
hashtag. In any case, though, I think #WLL is probably not distinctive
enough, and we might want at least #WLL2012 (#wikiloveslib?).

I was looking at the latest revision to the Wikipedia

and noticed at the bottom it says:
"Follow us on T[witter] or F[acebook].
The Facebook link leads to the GLAMwiki page:
https://www.facebook.com/GLAMWIKI.US
So should the Twitter link be to the @glamwiki account?
Or should both be about Wikipedia Loves Libraries? (I know there is
neither a Twitter account or Facebook page for WLL).
