I frequently send links and images from various sites to my friends and family.  Gmail makes this quite simple as you can drag and drop the link into your new message instead of copying and pasting the url or typing it in by hand.

To send the url from the site you are visiting, simply drag and drop the address from your address bar into the body of the new message.

gmail_sendlink1

The link will appear in the new message:

gmail_sendlink2

This same technique works with images as well as any text that you highlight in the webpage.
