[kdenlive] Kdenlive on Twitter

[farid abdelnour]

I think it is great to have the official twitter account reactivated. (also
now that Jesse started an official g+ community.)

Whether you like it or not, twitter is a great tool for an official channel
of communication. This can even help out in attracting more devs or at
least spread the word about what is going on with the project. Even the FSF
has one ;P

Cheers

> This way people are likely to start conversations with the account,

>
> Non-Official: the user is called something like 'Kdenlive Tips" or
> "Kdenlive News"
> The advantage here is that you avoid a situation like the current one,
