[RP TownTalk] Shelfari addendum: Riverdale Park Readers group

[Marc Molino]

Nancy,
Shelfari is what they now call a "social media website" (e.g., MySpace, 
FaceBook, YouTube, etc.)--which basically means, members of the public sign 
up for free and are given their own kind of mini-website within the larger 
website. You are then allowed to link to other members/friends and in this 
case: add/rate/review books. You do have to register (which basically means 
giving them an e-mail address and making up a name for yourself) and you can 
set your own display settings which range from letting everybody in the 
world see your books/friends/comments to only letting those you know/approve 
of see your books/friends/comments.

This link answers frequently asked questions about Shelfari:

This link should let you explore the site without first registering:
http://www.shelfari.com/explore/exploreUsers

And this link is supposed to let you join the Riverdale Park Readers group 
(but I think you have to register first):
http://www.shelfari.com/Register.aspx?ActivityId=333558&InvitationCode=f54a5ccf-9982-4118-8846-5be8f4ed7711

Should none of this work. You can always just register on our own and then 
either search for:

Marc -
Could you explain a little what this is and how it works?  I'm not
experienced with blogs (is that what this is?), so I'm not sure what I'm
looking for. Couldn't find Riverdale Park Readers.

That previous message was supposed to invite others to join a group I
started on Shelfari called "Riverdale Park Readers" -- it's just a neat
online way to share what each of us is reading, since I know there are a
fair number of book lovers on this list. The site seems to have sent its
default message instead of the one above. Further down the road, if there's
interest, we could possibly choose a book to read as a group and meet to
discuss it (in person and online)... Stop by and add anything you're reading
these days.

Sorry for the spam-like initial e-mail.

Shelfari is a free site that lets you share book ratings and reviews with
friends and meet people who have similar tastes in books.  It also lets you
build an online bookshelf, join book clubs, and get good book
recommendations from friends.  You should check it out.
