[Commons-l] Add this at Commons

[Neil Kandalgaonkar]

Erik is right that we shouldn't use addthis.com (or sharethis.com, or 
any other) -- those companies exist to collect aggregate data about what 
is shared, and some insert interstitial advertisements when you use them.

But, the idea of a sharing widget is a great one. I'd add it to the 
Commons TODO, except... well, there isn't one, except for the one 
Guillaume is maintaining, but this is really for the Multimedia project.

Maybe file a bug and mark it an enhancement?
