Hey Craig, Yeah, this is a totally desirable feature, IMO.
I've been following "Open Like" ( http://openlike.org/ ) as a possible option for this - however, it's currently a bit stagnant as a project as well as currently being "faux-pen" (similar to XAuth) - where it depends on a central registry of services. Last I read, they were going to release a v2 (which I've never seen beyond a "prototype" back in June), and along with that announcement they claimed there would be a v3 that supported "pluggable services" via OExchange - http://www.oexchange.org/ . I started an OExchange implementation back in the summer that I need to revisit and commit real soon now (tm). I *think* OExchange goes a long way in this regard (there's a fairly minimal difference between a "share" and a "like"/ "favourite" imo). We should be able to - at the very least - build upon oexchange here.
