this makes a lot of sense, but we really need a way to send messages to
facebook/twitter contacts, or do other operations on the other services
(see photos from flickr, listen to music in last.fm, etc).

For photos and music, I guess it's easy, since we can't just start the
corresponding app/url from the 'contacts view' in the shell
