It is good to see comments from every vendor! After reading your post and the comments I did my own tests since it has been a while since your review. We ended up going with AddToAny for the better performance (still) and we love how nicely customizable it is. They have standalone icons now too.. which makes me wonder why you are still using single icons only, and why do you have Facebook last?! What a review, thank you, Steven!

These persons seem to be normal ones at a glance, but they really like to create new things rather than to do some routine works. Their abilities vary. More detailed split are not given. 2. Forger These kind of person hates to do things again and again, they want to make a tool all the time to reduce their working time. thus, their production rate is relatively low.

In fact I believe I fit perfectly to what you've said about programming... The fact is that some frameworks are so complicated that you can't remember every method on it and sometimes you need google to help you get back on track, also If you think that your programming language is so damn hot that will be the king forever you are lost already(tnik of visual studio in 90's, or java in 2000) as some kids comming behind you will easily bypass you with new techniques.... As Matt Perez (My CEO/COO) said... a good programmer will never stop learning, they will find the way no matter how much work they have. As you said: if you think you know everything you are totally lost in this career... About the interviews you are totally right, I got selected because of my talking skills (as my mother was a seller) and not by my code skills, I was eager to get a real problem and solve it in my own way, I was eager to show them that I actually comment my code and follow some patterns but all in the interview was "bla bla bla do you remember this? bla bla", I'm so happy with my new job but I still hold my breath as I still don't know the rest of my team and don't know if they are good for programming or just talking (as someone pointed, good programmers love to work with good programmers and create new solutions to problems, if they can't find them they quit and bad programmers make a great company to fall apart). Thanks a lot as I fell you've talked for all of us :) I couldn’t agree more with you… In fact I believe I fit perfectly to what you’ve said about programming… The fact is that some frameworks are so complicated that you can’t remember every method on it and sometimes you need google to help you get back on track, also If you think that your programming language is so damn hot that will be the king forever you are lost already(tnik of visual studio in 90′s, or java in 2000) as some kids comming behind you will easily bypass you with new techniques….
