What isn’t a social site nowadays? I found this small beta site, which allows user to discuss and talk about books! Yes books! This site may be the new way to semi-privately-socially discuss books without being laden in product advertisements or immature or fake reviews. Users can add tags and review books. They currently have the service set at 200 books maximum list capacity and anything over requires a subscription.
Goodreads is another site with the same focus but offers a cleaner interface, and keeps the content on book reviews. Users can organize their book shelves and set up what they may want in terms of read, wish list and so on.
These sites are cute and focus on a literate and narrow audience (of book readers) which is very welcome. The real gem of a site that I recently found is a site called blippr. Blippr, while still in beta and slowly gaining a user base is focused across books, movies, games, and music while keeping reviews down to twitter like posts (160 characters, sorry for the jargon) and add a type of facial to expression from a scale of =D - =(, literally. The site is clean and works rather well and is slightly new enough to be a contributor.
Try these sites out now!
