I dream of a desktop where these kinds of sharing are all accessible in the same way: Sources: local files clipboard URLs Destinations: Paste into widgets Online paste/image/file bins Online galleries (flickr/picasa/...) Contacts (mail attachment, IM file xfer, bluetooth obex, zeroconf file xfer eg kepas[1]) 'Facebook Wall' (for URLs), digg On the face of it you would need a list of mimetypes that each destination would accept, config UI for destinations requiring registration, and a UI plugin to provide additional metadata needed (eg user name for *bins, url comment text for facebook wall, image title for galleries. For the heavyweight media like email and IM I assume the plugin would just call KMail or Kopete and tell them to open a message composer or file transfer window primed with the content to send, and let them use their existing UI to select the contact to send it to (I implemented the Send To->Contact function in KDE 3's kuick konqueror plugin and it was always a bit slow to fetch the list of online contacts in a slot connected to the context menu's aboutToShow() signal). You could then use this Share it! broker in a plasma drop widget, Klipper and Copy To... in file managers. So while you're rethinking things, go for the biggest picture, it's the KDE way!
