Your privacy violations are criminal. I stopped using your services.) of book searching. It is very simple. Type a book into the search and get recommendations back on which books you should read next. According to its creator, 96% of its traffic comes from referrals, which is exactly how I came to know about. Thanks for the heads up, Christopher Cocca.

I was not aware that this was one of your websites Peter and like many of your page viewers have been referred to this website from a friend on Facebook( almost 7 months ago). Naturally the first book I put down was surprisingly Harry potter just to test and see what results I get. then began looking at latter books I enjoyed (similar to what you expected in terms of your consumers behavior) through the results perhaps we can conclude that perhaps most teens utilize the internet to search for recommendations (as opposed to older generations). well it is the case in the region from which I come from. It would be interesting to know about non english titles and book searches from the Middle east, as my interest is focused on the Middle eastern market, one primal problem serves that we lack the knowledge of new books in the market and this serves as a great mechanism to help people become more aware of books.

I teach 5th and 6th grade. I am going to use this with my students next year. I'm going to try it out for myself as well. What a great idea! I teach 5th and 6th grade.

One little thing: I think the thing with Tim O'Reilly is that he has appeared on Twitter's original list of folks to follow and so the vast majority of his followers are generic, not the bookish sort at all...
