Share the Love . . . and the Links

9781118460993-ma018.tif Ever stumble on a web page you just have to share with a buddy? The iPhone makes it dead simple. From the site in question, tap the action icon at the bottom of the browser (shown in the margin). Then tap the appropriate button to share via Mail, iMessage (or SMS), Twitter, or Facebook.

What happens next depends on which button you tap. For example, if you tap Mail, a new mail message appears with the Subject line prepopulated with the name of the website you’re visiting and the body of the message prepopulated with the URL. Just type something in the message body, supply your pal’s e-mail address, and then tap the Send button.
