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?

No, no, and again no.
We aren't a hive. We're indivuals, and need to stay as such.
To me, (and remember its just my opinion) there is already too much 'social interaction' going on. Facebook, Blogs, chat rooms, constant updates on news channels, the latest who did what to who and when they are expecting, in detail on celebrities........
I no longer watch mainstream TV, and just go to a few few sites online.
The very last thing I want to do is share my reading.
Perhaps that makes me on the antisocial side.
So be it.
And by the way.................
