BookVibe mines the Web to find your next read

Hi Everyone - thanks for the great discussion and comments regarding Bookvibe. We did want to clear up one misconception regarding the chain - the advanced algorithm used doesn't just randomly search and present the results based on what others are saying. Rather, it looks at a person's 'affinity' including Twitter profile, Tweets and Retweets, the makeup of followers, etc., and matches that information against the Tweets to get targeted recommendations. So for instance if I say I am a Tech enthusiast in my profile, the algorithm would know to pick up a book recommendation on 'mobile gaming' that someone I follow recommended.

We love the comments and will continue to keep listening and honing the technology based on the feedback to make Bookvibe the best book recommendation engine possible.
