Apple Unleashes Its New Mountain Lion System - Katherine Boehret - The Digital Solution - AllThingsD

Apple, Google, and Microsoft are all now competing in platform-centric "share boxes" and activity streams; tbd what this trend will mean for social business/networking players

"I got completely addicted to Mountain Lion’s Share sheets, which pop up whenever you’d hope to be able to share something. This includes Web pages from Apple’s Safari Web browser, and items from Apple’s Notes program or photos that you want to send to friends. Share sheets use whimsical animations to bring a paper clip, photo and text together on a little piece of virtual paper that gets whooshed off into the ether. Sharing works through a variety of methods, so you can be sure to reach anyone."
