Usually, when you have a question you want to ask it also to your friends. So, when a user is logged through Facebook, I propose to automatically post the question to his wall. The wall post could include the question title and a link to the question in the OSQA site. This is applicable also to answers and comments. I think that this feature could improve a lot the visibility of OSQA sites. JIRA issue: http://jira.osqa.net/browse/OSQA-519

There are 2 possible ways to do this:
I hope this helps. 1
Most of the users aren't going to do what option 2 requires. Option 2 could work for OSQA admins, but not for users in general.

This sounds like a smart feature. Also, possibly a "Tweet my question" and even a simple Facebook "Like" button.
I also agree with the "Tweet my question" checkbox. The advantage is that since, at the question post page, you already know if the user has a Facebook account, or a Twitter account, or both, you can display only the checkboxes which are applicable to that user. And users who do not have a Facebook or Twitter account registered in their OSQA profile will not see any checkbox at all.
For me the "Like" button is a different thing, because it does not belong to the question post page, it does not require you to be logged in OSQA, etc.
Definitely worth implementing something like this.
I had a post in here like this at least for twitter i used twitter feed to tweet out the questions - would be cool to also have it send them out on the persons individual twitter account and Facebook is cool too - maybe the like button but like @Oscar said thats a bit different
Not sure about OSQA but this feature (exactly how you described it) is already available on another Q&A project http://Lampcms.com (it's in php) There you can also auto-post Q or A to Twitter, Tumblr and Blogger blog (if posting to blog entire Q or A is posted with a link back)
This would be a useful function indeed! +1 for this feature request. That said, I would think it would work best as an optional 'tweet my question & facebook my question' page after the post has been sent from a usability perspective.
