Books and the Web
Lefty October 13th, 2007
A friend at work showed me Delicious Library, a new (at least to me) application that uses the built in camera in your mac to scan the barcode of books, DVDs, CDs, etc. It then automatically adds the item to your online and allows you to keep track of who you’ve lent things to by integrating with iCal and Address Book. It’s pretty slick.
I’ve also been playing around with goodreads.com, a social networking site for readers, that allows you to share your reading lists and recommendations with other book enthusiasts. My profile is here.
Both are nice usages of technology in the service of those who like to read.
