I love/hate Shelfari
First off, let me tell you that I love my Shelfari. It allows me to keep track of my books, remember what I read and even show off a bit.
BUT, why isn't Shelfari recommending me books?! Why aren't they connecting me with people who read the same books as I do? [Russ can comment on the mechanics behind this, he's been reading up on AI, Neural Nets, Collective Intelligence, etc].
If you've had an extended conversation with me, I've probably asked you if you have read any good books lately. Or what your favorite books are. I love hearing what other people read. I love reading what others read because it helps me understand them and connect with them.
Shelfari has a huge opportunity here. Why are they wasting it?
