I have this working quite well from a command line now.

I'm reposting things like tweets to my news feed so that only my friends
circle can see it.  This is quite similar to the facebook UI that got it so
much success.

I'm thinking next about a 'share' bookmarklet, something along the lines of

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/share-bookmarklet

The idea would be to share a post to my news feed if I came across an
interesting page

LMK if anyone has experience of interesting bookmarklets ...
