Anyone using the Social networking feature

ylsul · 08-30-2010, 03:13 PM

Hi,

I noticed in the manual that you can post stuff to social networking sites (facebook). I haven't tried it yet. Is anyone out there using it?

I haven't, although I've thought about it. I just don't know what I'd share. I'm a big Facebook fan, and I share stuff using other services, but nothing I read on my Kindle is sharey-type stuff...

I suppose it might be useful if I were part of a book club or class.

I use the twitter one. I started using it as a book log.

You can search kindle for the #kindle tag to see how many people use it. It automatically adds that tag.

I've used it a couple of times for FB, haven't gotten around to hooking up twitter. Glad it is there & plan to use it more.

Which reminds me, guess I need to tell my K3 about it...

I used the Facebook feature once by accident when I first got my K2 and upgraded to 2.5.x. Got back a couple of responses like "Oh, you got a Kindle! Let me know how you like it" and some "Likes".
