While I agree with you that shared links come from twitter and facebook
mostly. Doesn't IRC count as a chat log? Correct me if I am wrong, but
usually when I share a link via social network it is not the same as
sharing a link via IM. Sharing via IM is more personal IMHO. In my personal
case I don't go through links shared with me via Facebook or Twitter since
mostly it is just spam. Links that are shared with me directly are more
important for me.

I agree here. Remembering the context of the link is important.
