In a word: authors. Also, their publishers. Other readers. Your friends.
I've gotten into several chats with authors by using Goodreads to tweet a status update while reading. Some people have seen those updates and decided to check the books out for themselves. Heck, I just like being able to send an "I see what you did there" if I hit a particularly clever bit.
