Summary
Support easy sharing of certain objects (links, pages, bookmarks, etc.) with social networks and contacts.
The browser should remember things that you've shared, because you've shown that this is an item you are interested in (also, you may well want to share it again). We could use bookmarking as a mechanism for this -- i.e. bookmark everything that you share (possibly tagging the bookmark with "shared" so that the browser can keep track).
