goodreads Is For Book Lovers

I have just signed up on another social Media and networking site, goodreads.  I learned of the site from a blog I follow, Bleeding Espresso.  The site can be used to keep track of books you have read and those you want to read.  You can find reviews here and write a review of your own,  as well as, rating the book on a scale of 1-5 stars.  The site also has a listing of author tours in your area.  There are videos, trivia,  and lots of people sharing lots of ideas on books of all kinds.

I have been reading John Lennon: The Life and I was encouraged to see the reviews and an average rating of 4.67, since I have had a little trouble getting into the book.  My plan is to give goodreads a try.  See you there!   Marge on Goodreads

Twitter

What is Twitter?  Twitter is a form of social media like Facebook or MySpace only different.  It is a free social messaging and microblogging utility. Your tweets are limited to 140 characters.  You can send your own and read others updates, which are called tweets.  As a newbie in the social media world I am trying it out.  I don't tweet much yet, but I have certainly found a couple of tweeters that provide useful information. So I am inclined to stick with it for awhile.  I enjoy Facebook for posting photo's and looking at others photos.  Facebook is better for connecting with people you have not seen for a long time and those you have.  Twitter seems better for listening to new people with like interests and gathering information.  Twitter seems to have a lot of application for business. Please leave your comments and ideas about Twitter and other social networks.
