Goodreads is a networking site that got its start late in 2006. It’s already nearly at 1 million members. The concept is to provide a networking site for people who like to read.
With Goodreads, members can review books and choose from several of their favorite genres. You also get to meet other readers and share interests. Like a lot of other networking sites, you can start and join groups and do other fun things. But what I really like about Goodreads is its emphasis on good books. You can even get closer to some of your favorite authors as some of them have their profiles at Goodreads and you can contact them through e-mail and such (but don’t spam, please!).
Goodreads is great for anyone in publishing or for professional writers who want to stay connected to the publishing world. It’s also good for for fans of good books who want to network with others who liked the book as well. It can also be used by anyone in business who just wants to share what they’re reading right now. Plus, it’s another inbound link to your website, so why pass it up?
If you read books, Goodreads is another great social networking site for you to join.
