Make Sharing Easy

• Make it Easy o People want to share don't make it harder

than it needs to be: Don't create unnecessary

roadblocks • Make authenticating easy o if possible prefer

native login via iOS or the Facebook app • Ask for permissions at

contextually appropriate times o Don't ask for

permission to post until a user tries to post

Allow users to post to multiple ways simultaneously (Instagram does this as well as anyone)

o Don't forget about Email and SMS!

Don't create unnecessary roadblocks

Make Sharing Easy

Web Module Authentication Native Single Sign On
