New URL relationship types

[Nigel Smith-Online]

Since more artists have official Facebook and Twitter accounts shouldn't these be made  into defined URL types like MySpace and YouTube. At the moment Facebook and Twitter are just filed under 'online communities'

It would certainly make sense on our BBC artist pages to categorise the links better, i.e.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/72c536dc-7137-4477-a521-567eeb840fa8/links

Thanks a lot

I agree. I think those have become popular enough, particularly
Facebook that creating a named attribute for it would make sense.

I have been categorizing Twitter as "blog" though.

I would agree to this -- at the recent Future of Music Summit it  
became clear that Facebook and Twitter are the prime promotion tools  
that bands use to talk to their fans.

In IRC we discussed having a "X microblogs at Y" relationship to cover  
these. Would anyone like to champion this idea and propose it to the  
style list?

or not, should not be taken as an indication of whether I want to do it.
