I'm a microblogging fan, and moved from Twitter to Identi.ca exclusively a month or two ago, but I agree that crossposting would be helpful for marketting reasons.

There are plenty of Fedora users that use Twitter, and I think we shouldn't stay away from sites like Youtube when making videos to help get the message to more people.

Just my 2 cents.
