I very much would like quotes to be the message in Twitter or Facebook. It seems odd that Amazon doesn't have it set up this way. The whole point of a Twitter and part of Facebook is the quick message. Yes you can link to other things, but the one line message is what has made it so popular.
As to the original OP's comments, I think it could be interesting. I am not sure I would like it, as it might ruin my flow of reading. But it could be interesting to see other peoples thoughts and opinions while reading a book. I do something like this with friends and family where we read a book at the same time and then trade emails or something during that time. Right now I have no idea how to execute something so big but someday I am sure someone will have a good way to do it.
Actually, does Twitter have some of this capability? I watch different sporting events and will have Tweetdeck up and running. It will update a column for #Mizzou during the football game. Can make a game a lot of fun. I wonder if you could start something like that for each book. Something to think about anyway.
