Thanks, a minor nit - the linkedin page is not listed there :).

planet.gluster.org works with syndicated links. There is plenty of 
content relevant to gluster that does not get featured on planet as we 
do not syndicate those links. There are interesting discussions related 
to gluster on mailing lists and forums that would benefit from our 
social media push. How does one highlight such content to be pushed out 
through HootSuite?
