Shelfari...what's next??
October 10, 2007
As if joining
MySpace wasn't enough, thanks to
Shari Anton, I now belong to Shelfari. What the heck is this now?? Well,
Shelfari is a website to keep track of the books you've read and by inviting friends, you can see if you've read the same books and check out their sites to see what they've been reading.
I know there are probably lots of sites out there devoted to this, but since she was willing to show me how to use it (a big plus in getting me to try anything new), I gave it a gander. Once you sign up and they ask for your email address, it pulls up all people listed in your address book, but the cool thing is that it will separate them into those who do and don't belong to Shelfari. This way you already know who to invite to join your group because they already know what the heck you're talking about.
Once in, all you have to do is type in an author and it will pull up all the books they've written. Then you click what you've read and voila, you have your bookshelf filled. Of course, I figure this step will take me a while due to the number of books I read.
So, if you're into keeping track of things, you may want to try this or you may have another site you really like let me know. Otherwise, feel free to
join me at Shelfari and see what we have in common. And a shout out to my first 6 friends to join me: Shari Anton,
Lisa Plumley,
Berta Platas,
Clea Simon,
Jade Lee and
C.L. , Wilson (boy, you guys are fast).
Bottom Line: I am not joining anything new for the next month, so don't ask me....unless it's really cool and you show me how to do it.
