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.

Links that are shared with me directly are more important for me. > > Whatever system we use, we'd need to be able to remember attribution: > > http://getpocket.com/blog/2011/02/version-2-4-for-ios-login-support-tweet-attribution-and-more/ > > > I have a "To read" bookmarks folder in Firefox, which is full of crap > > which I haven't bothered to delete after viewing. > > http://getpocket.com > > Or Instapaper. > > > It's just so much > > work to maintain such a list by hand that I don't bother.
