I'm intrigued enough to at least think about checking it out. But the website only has a place for me to enter my email address to "get a weekly email of book recommendations" from my friends. If a weekly email is the extent of the service, I'm not inclined to "sign up" for another online account. If that's NOT the extent of the service, it would behoove them to indicate exactly what I'm "getting" in exchange for giving out my email address (preferably before I do so).

You have to admit, in this day and age of sparkly apps and the ability to sort data in any way a user might want to see it... a weekly email isn't all that enticing.
