Build referral ID into the social share links

[Interferon]

If referral links were automatically used when the user hit the social "share" buttons there would be a strong incentive to share website content.

The current system is pretty much useless. The system should simply allow a property to be added to any link like this:

www.mysite.com/community/files/file/43-myfile?referrer=userid

Then people have an incentive to click "share" on every blog, image, and other item and your content gets spread across social networks, bringing in more visitors and revenue.
