Hi mpt!  This is a new feature that Ken VanDine added to Software Center
as part of the Social From the Start (Maverick) blueprint:

  https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-maverick-
social-api

If you try it on Lucid, then indeed clicking the link will do nothing
(you'll get the following stacktrace):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gwibber-poster", line 112, in <module>
    w = GwibberPosterWindow()
  File "/usr/bin/gwibber-poster", line 84, in __init__
    self.set_icon_from_file(resources.get_ui_asset("gwibber.svg"))
NameError: global name 'resources' is not defined


However, try it on Maverick and clicking the link will bring up a "Gwibber 
Poster" dialog (hence the term "microblog") that will allow you to post the 
text "Check out apturl:akonadi-dbg" via Gwibber.

At this point the basic functionality is there and working, but
certainly design work is welcome.  And no question that whatever we
determine the desired user experience to be, it should be included in
the Software Center spec.
