Errr, it is linking to libvirt related content people share on twitter.

Stack overflow is much more targetted than a global websearch - it is
a user self-help forum, and the libvirt tag is directly relevant. 

Linking to related content on other community related sites is a very
relevant thing - libvirt does not exist in an island where everything
happens on websites run by ourselves. Encouraging engagement with libvirt
via these external social media sites is a key way to promote libvirt and
ensure our community grows over time.

Regards,
Daniel
