Description Benjamin Muskalla CLA 2011-02-02 16:06:51 EST 
This should be done trough twitter or email. But it should only be possible to share *one* listing at the time, but not prevent sharing multiple listings. 
Integration should be done trough the web browser, clipboard, and Java 1.6 Desktop API; 
native Twitter integration should not be part of this.

patch

David, here is the patch to support this feature. It adds a new share button to the solutions which in turn makes it possible to
* open a predefined mail with description and link to the solution
* open the browser, loading twitter and prepolulating the tweet

Great work Benjamin!  Patch applied with minor modifications:
* HTML tags are stripped from description for email messages
* description is placed after URL in email message body, since some mail clients will truncate the message if it's too long
* tweet message was changed to @Just trying out "{0}" {1}@ since most solutions ended up with tweets that exceed the 140 character limit
* added copyright header to ShareSolutionLink
