About ConnectViaBooks.com It is ConnectViaBook's vision to be the favourite destination for booklovers. We want to provide an environment where readers can share their excitement from having read a great book and where everyone, through a passionate exchange of ideas, information and knowledge, can question, learn, grow and emerge not only wiser but also having made new friends from around the world. We believe that we can only achieve our vision if we provide the very best environment for readers to connect, discuss and share their excitement and passion for their books. How to use ConnectViaBooks.com Using the website is easy: You start by creating a list of books you like. Using this list the site will introduce you to discussions you may want to engage in as well as other members you may want to connect with. Because the system understands that books are related in different ways (fiction, non-fiction, topical, genre, writer, age, type of plot, scientific area, etc) it can connect you to discussions that may be of interest to you even if the books discussed are not exactly the same as the ones you have on your booklist. The same goes for connecting you with other members. The system can introduce you to others who share your interests even if you haven't read any of the same books. This is usually a great way to get recommendations for new books. Apart from discussing books and connecting with other members you can do a lot of other things on ConnectViaBooks.com: Create multiple booklists You can create multiple lists of books. Booklists can be used for several things including connecting you to discussions and other members. You can attach your own comments to each book. Booklists can also be used for several other things as listed below. Publish your booklists on your website or in your blog You can publish your booklists on your website or in your blog and thereby show visitors books you recommend; what you are currently reading; or which books are recommended readings for a school subject. Link to your booklists You can link to your booklists from your email or from other types of documents. Get book recommendations from members who like the same type of books as you We all like to get book recommendations from people who like the same types of books that we do. On ConnectViaBooks you get book recommendations that are calculated by taking into account how members, who like the same books as you, rate books that you have not yet read. This ensures that the recommendations are made by people who share your taste in books. We call this feature SocialBooks. Try it, it works! Who's behind ConnectViaBooks.com?
