Bug Description

There are some cases where apps want to share just simple plain text between each others:

 - You want to share the content of a message/note/$any_text to facebook/twitter/$any_social/reminder-apps

This is currently not possible, while for example in $other_platforms an application can ask to share some text (a tweet content, a message, a note) with another.

Copy and paste doesn't apply here, because this might be triggered by the UI.

I'd propose a new ContentType.Text and add a data property to ContentTransfer. This could also be useful for attaching other serialized content, like a vcard for contacts as opposed to transferring vcard files.
