[Tagging] Standard for external links to location based services

[Peter Wendorff]

Hi Simone.
If the facebook page is the only - or primary website, I would agree to 
use it as website.
That is sometimes the case, and I agree, that this should be in OSM as 
any website at a dedicated domain or whatever.
But:
A facility that has it's own website, most likely linking to the other 
ones, and uses platforms like facebook, twitter and much more for 
communication or advertising means, I don't think it's valuable to add 
all these to osm.

That leads to trillians of URLs in osm with hundrets of different tags, 
and as a result neither the osm data consumer nor another mapper has an 
idea about where to look to find crucial information about the facility 
in the web.

regards
Peter
