I’ve been messing around lately with custom views and touch events as custom views looks a lot more cooler from a user point of view than the default. Here is a bit of code on how to visualize it in your head (about how it tracks your hand). By the way, it isn’t multi-touch friendly [...]

I haven’t yet perfected this yet or figured out how to create a bookmarklet which works for all browsers (or the main ones), but you can add the following code to your bookmarks (this also works on all iOS devices too!) which will allow you to share links with your facebook network.
