Feel free to help us add to the list of potential social media services that KM will officially use (or at least have a dormant account with). Until this is fleshed out, we will need more info for each item, such as image requirements and any relevant information related to functions, account creation, etc. Eventually, this section would ideally simply link to each account page and provide a short description if needed.

=Multiple accounts/campaigns=
[http://knoxmakers.com/wiki/Street_team Beta page]


This section anticipates the possibility of multiple accounts. One example is that the MakerBot Cupcake in shop, once fully functioning and printing items, can be personified and given a gimmicky Twitter account. This could be automated (e.g., "@KMCupcake: just #printed another air hockey puck") or controlled manually (e.g., "@KMCupcake: Hungry for ABS today, anyone gonna feed me?")
