Twitter is great but it would take me all day to look up all the things I'm interested in !! Neat to get all the comments from other people and new ideas.
Library thing is also a great engine. I looked up a chick lit author I'd enjoyed reading over the holidays (Claudia Carrol) and was neat to be able to see what others thought of it, other books she'd read and also different authors who may interest me. This is a great thing for people looking for similar type authors or books to read when they've read all from a particular one they like.
Another thing I like about it is that you can see the different covers the book has had - interesting to see how they are different around the world !
Popular covers
Maybe when I have a little more time I might try to get one of the free advance copies of a book in return for a review - very good idea for book-lovers and helpful for the publishers to get a feel for how the book is going to go !
Well done! It's great to hear these exercises are opening up your world!
