What Should I Read Next?

September 21st, 2005

I’ll definitely be showing off What Should I Read Next (The good and the bad aspects - not sure what they are yet, but all tools have both) when I do my first ever “Online Readers Advisory” presentation at the 21st Century Literacies conference in November.

From the WSIRN FAQ:

“WSIRN produces recommendations based purely on collective taste: when books are entered into the same favourites list, they become associated with each other. The more often particular books appear on different lists, the stronger that association becomes. Purely and simply, WSIRN represents mass opinion about books. Over time the recommendations should get better and better as the database grows.”

I’m thrilled to be part of this event as I get to talk about something other than weblogs, RSS, and Keeping Current. I’ll be talking about (GASP) books! Also on the menu for my talk will be, of course, Library Thing. (link via Populicio.us)
