Have you ever wanted a better way to:
- see what your friends are reading?
- keep track of what you've read and what you'd like to read?
- get great book recommendations from people you know?
- make reading fun again?
I, in turn, ask:
You mean, other than by, like,
- looking at their bookshelves?
- looking at my own bookshelves?
- talking to my friends?
- actually, you know, sitting down in my reading chair, and, like, reading books?
Of course, I can still remember, back in the halcyon days of Web 1.2.0.4rc8 build 48, the day I deleted my Friendster and Orkut accounts: it was the day I realized that no amount of social networking was every going to make me less socially awkward.
I'm obsessed with other people's book shelves and it's soooo convenient to have an online catalogue, one which I can browse through at will. And I can never have too many book friends.
ReplyDeleteThe whole "making reading fun again" thing is the odd one out.
exactly. i'll certainly "friend" a friend but I feel no need to have yet another site about books that I will never update.
ReplyDeleteLike Imani, I love seeing what other people are reading. But its no use if I can't talk to them about it and get an idea of the book itself...
