I don't mean the people at the moment, I mean the social locations...

Our Getting Involved web page at https://www.iotivity.org/get-involved

has this suggestion:

Follow along with the blog, Twitter, Google Plus, Facebook and Linkedin

I get those are the typical places one would expect.  And many open
source projects have found it valuable to have some sort of presence on
such media sources.  But if we go look, as I just did, one would end up
disappointed:

* google+ has no content, and a red "RESTRICTED" block on it.
* Linkedin has no content, though it does list some people to blame :)
(hi, Brian Warner!)
* Facebook does have some content (yay!), but the last entry "openWRT
now supports IoTivity!" was July 2015
* Twitter has lots of content - some bot, or some PR agency acting on
our behalf, or some such, is tweeting assorted links from industry
publications which happen to mention IoT - but which have NO mentions of
iotivity. these seem quite irrelevant and I wish they'd stop (OCF's
twitter feed does the same thing, but I find it harder to blame them)
* finally, the blog has real content - but it is *only* iotivity release
announcements - six of them going back to v1.1.

So not much in the last two years.

Is this something to worry about?   Can/should we try to improve? If so,
how? Or is it better to clean out the links to inactive social media
locations and not pretend?
