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. Bryan
+1 for twitter
+0 for the others
