With the Share button in Safari on Mountain Lion, you can share web pages using Twitter or Messages. There are no default keyboard shortcuts, but you can create your own.

Open System Preferences, click on the Keyboard icon, then the Keyboard Shortcuts tab. Click on Application Shortcuts, then click on the + icon. Choose Safari as application, then enter either "Twitter" or "Messages" as the Menu Title. Enter the keyboard shortcut you want; I use Command-Control-T for Twitter and Command-Control-M for Messages. Click on Add to apply the shortcut.

Quit Safari and relaunch it. If you click on the Share button in the toolbar, you won't see your new shortcuts, but they work. You can see them by choosing File > Share.

Whenever you want to share a web page via Twitter or Messages, you can now do so with a single keystroke.
