• Is there anything in Zend Framework to help with this?

Most services offer a http-based api either useable with javascript (no need for frameworks) or php, where we can use the http classes

Why a new "Share" feature

• Every user can authorize the site with oauth for twitter/facebook so they need not to log in to each of the sites to push a message out on these channels.
• Instead of having a man in the middle doing the service for us (and the statistics/tracking), we can do it here
