Thanks for helping me with this!

I like the idea of people sharing info about books. I mean…I’m a reader too, and I have trouble finding good stuff. But I don’t really like the idea of people (not you, obviously!) who game the system on Libboo and start “buzzing” about books they haven’t read. I’m not sure why they’d do it, but it does appear to happen. Of course it does little harm, as I imagine people don’t pay a lot of attention to those who indiscriminately recommend books.

Then there’s the issue that I don’t like tweeting and blogging “buy my stuff!” messages all the time, so I’m not sure I want to ask other people to do it either.

I like the idea of Libboo in principle. Still waiting to see what I think of it in practice…with high hopes but a willingness to decide against it if it looks like I end up encouraging spam.

Well this certainly sounds exciting! I’m going to the site now and see if I can help out. Gotta spread the word on my new-found author !
