iOS, at least on my phone, goes through too many steps to share a single item. Where their share icon is displayed there is a vast amount of space to the right that could be used to indicate mail, facebook, twitter, IM, or more. A good system would adopt to the user's usage rates for each if any at all and present them as a default.

Yet interaction with the photo app an an example shows just how confused Apple is within just one app. I have the words Share, Select, and even an icon, sometimes all at once, sometimes just two of them, and occasionally just one of them. Where is the rhyme or reason?

in the end, learn my preferences, that cannot be hard. If i do not use twitter then never offer it.
