Amazon and the Read/Write Web

(From the “Somewhat Shameless Self-Promotion Department”) I just wanted to note that my book is now officially available on Amazon, but even more, look what other Read/Write Web type things you can do:

Post a review (ok…nothing new there, I know.)

Post to a discussion board about the book. (Somewhat new.)

Tag the book with keywords that help others find it. (New)

Contribute to a wiki about the book. (New)All pretty cool, I think, though I wonder how many people will use them. And did you know that author’s can have their own blogs at Amazon? I haven’t had time to dive into it much, obviously, but I do think it’s all quite an interesting attempt to get people involved in a product.

And, most important of all, of course, don’t forget that you can add my book to someone’s wedding registry…
