In general, I think you mean a way to publish and a way to communicate. I closed my github and twitter accounts and re-took control by publishing source code on my website. I'll occasionally communicate things I've done that I think may interest others here or on other similar sites. I try not to over-do that though. Too many self-centered posts turn a lot of people off I think.

That's true, and it's exactly what I mean. I wrote this while thinking about some of my fellow students - many don't have their own website, for example, but they deserve to have their work seen. I named twitter because it's an extremely simple service and a very large number of tech people use it, and I named github because it's one of the easiest and most popular ways to share source code.

Certainly, though, I just mean publish and advertise. The methods and services through which you do that don't matter all that much.
