That looked nice and useful at first sight. But reading the NYT article gave another impression to me:

Quote:
In addition to the free consumer-oriented BookVibe, which will soon come out in a Facebook version, the company sells a more in-depth set of tools to book publishers, authors and retailers to help them understand how books are selling and where and what people are saying about them.
So this is just another 'Big Data' recycling bin. Personally I prefer the advice of experts rather than emotions of the masses or recommendations from the robots. At least for now.
