Thank you Mark. I will do that. I appreciate that Twidroid and others will respond to that action. I would hope that google or someone else will consider something along the lines of ACTION_POST or better yet ACTION_PUBLISH for Atom publications.
I think it would be a nice distinction to allow some authority to post to facebook, blogger, twitter, picasa, youtube or some other site based on the mime-type. Where SEND would be a message to a contact (SMS, facebook message, email, etc.). In my mind SEND and PUBLISH would be two different intents. In the meantime, SEND it is!
