I wonder if anybody is using ShareThis widget? Do you think having one icon for users to share is more effective than having multiple icons (Facebook, twitter, digg, email)?

A buddy of mine who is a software developer for 7 years wants to make a jump into a product manager. I don't know what kind of advice I need to give him, whether he should go for it or not. He has a solid technical skills but he also expresses his interest brainstorming product ideas and coming up with new features at times (mostly he wants to be more involved in the product lifecycle from end to end).

So I want to ask the collective knowledge of HN to see whether he should try it out or not. (i haven't had time to research what's a job description for product manager anyway) anyone wants to share his/her opinions?

I've heard people praising and criticizing Palm for releasing Palm Pre a few days before supposedly new iphone may be released. If you're in charge, what would you rather do?

For tripntale:

Chrome - 5% Safari - 5% Opera - 4% Firefox - 35% IE - 50% - IE 7 = 64% - IE 6 = 29% - IE 8 - 5%

So i'm glad that IE has gone down to 50%, how about your websites?

Hi everybody,

I want to ask if anyone has tried developing for iphone. how steep is the learning curve for objective C, development tools, etc if you are coming from C,C++,C#, Visual Studio, Eclipse?

Hi everybody,

my name is Darwin and I'm new to this community. Very excited to have found HN and have been following all the threads for quite a while before thinking of asking your advise.

I have a one year old baby and I'm concerned because he doesn't walk or talk yet, he's not social and not very active, the big guys like techcrunchie, lifehackerz or scobelicious don't want to play with him. we feed him regularly and he seems like growing day by day, but i guess we are concerned that he's not growing fast enough. And Oh, the baby's name is TripnTale.com

any tips on SEO, usability or marketing I can do to drive the awareness?
