For me, something mining the chat logs for links would be absolutely
useless. My shared links come from Facebook, Twitter or IRC.
While I agree with you that shared links come from twitter and facebook mostly. Doesn't IRC count as a chat log? Correct me if I am wrong, but usually when I share a link via social network it is not the same as sharing a link via IM. Sharing via IM is more personal IMHO. In my personal case I don't go through links shared with me via Facebook or Twitter since mostly it is just spam. Links that are shared with me directly are more important for me.
Whatever system we use, we'd need to be able to remember attribution:

It needs to also remember which "post" the link was sent in so I can
attribute or comment properly.
I agree here. Remembering the context of the link is important.
