Unreads.com

The 4 or 5 of you who read my blog regularly will probably have seen me mention the website I’ve been working on. Well, it’s in place and I’m ready to start doing what are called Beta tests on it. That means the site is live but there still might be broken things I’m getting to. Beta is also the time when you start to take feedback on things people want changed. So I’m proud to announce Unreads.com, a website for readers. Unreads allows you to keep a bookblog, or journal, of the books you’re reading and share that with others. You can see what books other people have on their “Unread Stack” and see what they have to say about those books. It helps you read more deeply and take more from the books you spend your time with, as well as helps you choose what to read next. So please check it out if you have some time and let me know what you think.

The benefit of launching the beta of the site here is that very few people read this blog so I’m not in much danger of crushing my server with the load. But the more people hitting the site the better during the testing phase so if you have friends who might be interested, please tell them to visit. Have them email me and mention you sent them and there might be something in it for you too. :)
