So I work for a tech company in Berlin called [deleted]. You can find us here: [deleted]. We're focussing on making reading social and shareable. What's your opinion on such a thing?

Andrew Keen recently said that 'social reading' signifies the end of the world, as we can't enjoy the solidarity that comes with it anymore. However, I view it as a fresh take on reading.

For more context on how 'social' is incorporated, take a look at [deleted].
Thoughts?


Welcome to the MobileRead. Interesting topic. I'd have to agree with what Andrew Keen said (understanding that it is an exaggeration).

I'm not into social media, but even if I ever drink that Koolaid, I'd never let it invade my reading space. Reading is very much an individual experience for me.
