Absolutely not.

I'm +1 for anything that might increase word of mouth or interest in OSM,
including links to Twitter, Facebook G+, and the like, even if they have
those insidious little linkie things on them. I visit sites that include
those gremlins every day & have never *not* gone to a site because of them.
I also happen to use a cookie blocker for Facebook & a Facebook specific
browser. Twitter, in particular, already has a fair amount of OSM-related
chatter on it. It's how I learned about the 1 millionth registration.
