Well, it seems that newbies agree.  :D

Yes, that's +/- what I mean. Although the model I would want is
similar to google+, with social networks and more casual. Ideal for
newbies. I think that nowadays if a project wants attract attention it
must use social networks. The problem is that there is little feedback
in Identi.ca : https://twitter.com/federicomena/status/204994604649553920
. If a newbie starts talking on identi.ca seems to be talking to the
walls: http://identi.ca/group/guile . And the twitter account does not
explain much: https://twitter.com/gnuguile .

http://planet.gnu.org obviously isn't suitable place to newbies
guilers place their notes. In my opinion this option is discarded.

http://scheme.dk/planet/ seems a better choice, but it doesn't use
social networks. It's less casual. Not ideal for newbies. Neither It
is only for GNU Guile. Besides I do not see that this page does not
supports Google. It says explicity: "To see old posts: Visit Google
Reader" "Add to Google". Racketeers also is in this planet, and they
are also in google+ :
