There's a MediaWiki extensions called "ShareThis" which adds links to post
stories on Digg, Techoranti (sp?), and Slashdot, among other places. [1]
Secondly, there is also a Send2Friend extension. We could ask the devs to
install it on testwiki to see what it does, and if we like it, we can install on en.wn

In wiki-markup it should be
[mailto:yourfriend@example.com?subject=Subject&body=One%20paragraph.%0A%0ANext%20paragraph.
