Hi Patricia, Great to hear from you! I hope your holidays were splendid!
To answer your question, we developed our own "connectors" (this is what Shotwell calls them) for Facebook, Flickr, etc., because at the time we began development (mid-to-late 2009), nautilus-sendto had no support for publishing to social web services. Furthermore, our ultimate vision for the Shotwell web connectors is that they be bidirectional (i.e., not only can you publish your photos from Shotwell to Flickr but you can import a Flickr photoset into Shotwell). In the longer term, we'd also like Shotwell to support automatic cloud synchronization, so that when you adjust the color of a photo in Shotwell, the colors of that photo are also adjusted automatically in the published version of the photo on Flickr and Facebook. With these requirements, nautilus-sendto is just too simple a tool to support our needs. That said, if all you're going to be doing is moving from photos from Cheese onto social websites, nautilus-sendto may work great for you. I can't wait to see you at GUADEC next year!
