I could make an argument either way but in general I'm supportive of advertising creative uses of WP content (in my traditional Wikipedian "our job is to spread knowledge/content not have higher page views or try to do what we're not good at" mindset :) ). Usually I'd lean towards doing that as a retweet rather then a direct SM message or blog post though there are reasons for exceptions in all cases.
