Shelfari an online meeting place for bibliophiles

October 13th, 2006

Shelfari is not the only company trying to bring social-networking tools to book lovers. Perhaps the best known is LibraryThing, a startup in Portland, Maine, that started its book-catalog service last year. In just over a year, the company has attracted more than 88,000 members who have cataloged about 6.2 million books through the service. In May, AbeBooks — a Victoria, B.C.-based online book retailer — bought a 40 percent stake in the company.” (Seattle-Post Intelligencer - 10/11/06) - via Shelfari Blog
