One final question. How hard would it be to allow users to change
accounts on shares on the fly.
e.g. I shared this to .Mac, now I want to switch that over to Cosmo.
Basically, you select a different account from the pulldown and
you're given the option to re-publish to the new account.

.Mac is the name of Apple's sharing service. The .Mac service

about the .Mac service. It is unlikely that a single user will
have different accounts on different .Mac servers. So there's
little point in distinguishing between individual servers.
Mindspring
Earthlink
Verizon
Flickr
are all examples of services.
Currently, I don't think there's a way (short of making guesses
based on domain names). I could imagine a future where parcels
(like our current flickr, Amazon, ... demos) implement a Service,
and that contains a displayable name.
