Goodreads is Sweet

I really like goodreads.com. I just want to put that out there for everyone who's not familiar with it. It's a social network that's actually useful. If you enjoy reading, it gives you a place to share all you've read with others; so you can see what your friends are reading, and what they recommend or didn't like.

Anyway, it turns out that these days as soon as one person has an idea, the VCs rush to fund similar companies. It's like coffee shops, as soon as one opens on the block, you know another will follow shortly as someone wants their piece of the pie. So Shelfari and LibraryThing are two other companies that seem to be doing the same thing and are getting a lot of press lately for themselves by spamming others and complaining about it. I don't know who came first, and Shelfari and LibraryThing might actually be great sites, but I found goodreads first and I dig it so I'm rollin with it.

I'm endorsing them as I find the site very useful. Also, it's refreshing to find a site that seems to put the user first, it's not all about how they can make the money through ads or whatever. In print and on the internets all I'm seeing lately is the other 2 companies and people need to wake up and not sleep on goodreads. It's cool. If you make it over there I'm PT3.
