[Cc-webedit] "Add this" button for blog

[theinnercityhippy at riseup.net]

i'm strongly against this. Mainly because it is using a corporate service
to feed other corporate services, but also because it looks remarkably
similar in functionality to an add this button i have included in an
aggregator that i am in the middle of making to propose for the uk indy
front page at:

http://newuk.northern-indymedia.org

i was also going to propose that adapt this to use instead of yahoo pipes
for our own syndication.

The add this button is in fact just a drupal module that we could easily
incorporate ourselves without having to buy free software.
