This is the whole point behind collaborative plugin architecture.  There
should be a messaging plugin that can handle email, facebook postings,
twitter postings etc etc.  
The messaging plugin would then be responsible for maintaining what each
end user wants to do with messages and content -- all the while allowing
developers to piggy-back on that functionality.

A collaborative plugin architecture would be a good GSoC project.  Not
sure how "appealing" it would be compared to socnet.

By the way -- is that going to be the official name we give to the
social networking project then?  SocNet?
