[Freebase-discuss] Rethinking weblinks

[Jeff Prucher]

So just to jump on the last email in this thread, I have a question
for the community about the social_media_presence property. Should it
go on /common/topic, along with the official_website and topic_website
properties? Or should it go on a type like
/internet/social_network_user?

As I see it, the objection to putting it on /common/topic would be
that only a comparatively small subset of topics can have a social
media presence (legal entities like people and organizations, plus
things like conferences and events, and maybe a few others). On the
other hand, Facebook has loaded pretty much all of the English
Wikipedia (haven't checked for other languages) as "interests"  (e.g.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Italian-Renaissance/108252592532495). So
if Facebook interest pages count as a social media presence, then we
probably need it on /common/topic.

Thoughts?

Jeff
