Thanks for the report, I've added it to the TODO list for the next DPN
and bounced your mail to debian-publicity.

A lot of the more popular social media in use today are at odds with
free software principles and the culture that surrounds the FLOSS
movement. Debian does have an official presence on identica (the
Twitter alternative) and I hope that once Diaspora/Appleseed/etc
(Facebook alternatives) become more widely used Debian would have an
official presence there. That said, our identica feeds are syndicated
to twitter and some Debian developers maintain an unofficial Debian
presence on Facebook.
