Add Share functionality

[shalvah]

It would be nice to have a Share button on the page, allowing users to share their results (probably with the hashtag). Unfortunately, putting it below the results will likely make users miss it. Putting it above might work, but we already have two lines of information there.

"Share to Twitter"

Contents should be something like: "Here's my #TwitterThrowback. Check yours here", then link to oldtweets.today/#their-username

Okay! Let me work on this. #their-username here should be the sharer's username or the username checked via the app?

Cool, question though, "Here's my #TwitterThrowback...", what does it return exactly? A link to the throwback tweet? If so, what about if the throwback tweets are more than one.

I think it should just link back to the app, there might be no need of adding the user's throwback. More like "Here's my #TwitterThrowback. Check yours here", then link to oldtweets.today What do you think?

"Here's my Twitter throwback" implies that you're linking them to your results. So the link should be # That takes them to a page with your username filled in, so they just need to click the button. They can also replace the username with theirs and check.

Oh, cool. The search form query can be made automatically 'on page load' since the username is already filled in, so once someone that clicked on the shared link sees the throwback; they can just edit the text field with their Twitter username to see theirs.

@shalvah Twitter doesn't allow hashtags in their tweet-to link, there's a query that accepts hashtags, What this means is that http://oldtweets.today/#${window.username} would not be possible. This is a blocker.

[shalvah]

Okay, no problem. We can do http://oldtweets.today/?username=${window.username}. The code already supports that.

Yes, we could do that too. Submit the form when the page is loaded with a preset value.

Cool
