Service links

Service links allow to add links of social bookmarking sites, blog search engines, social networks and similiar, including Buzz Yahoo, del.icio.us, Digg, Facebook, Furl, Google, IceRocket, LinkedIn, ma.gnolia.com, MySpace, Newsvine, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Technorati, Twitter, Yahoo and many more (some of them are just available in 2.x-dev version).

After more than a year since the refactoring is started (#380322: Refactoring Service Links) i'm happy to announce that the first stable release is OUT, so i wish say thank you to everybody who spent his time for improve and potentiate, the original code. Two names for alls are mr. apvisam who allowed me to take over the project and Rob Loach, the actual Co-Mantainer.
