"Your post has been carded by so-and-so!" sounds like Mafia Wars spam though :), I suppose 'shared' or even 're-shared' would work.

One issue I can see being: what if the person updates the post? To avoid things being spammed I think you'd have to record the relationship in the database and have a boolean store if the other user has been notified -- this should persist across edits, so even if it gets removed and re-added it does not trigger another notification.
