I'm a Luddite, and I admit it. For the Social Media blah-blah thing, I really just did things about books. I like Goodreads, and even joined a group (I can get the messages as a digest, for which I am eternally grateful). My reading list is short: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1405950?shelf=%23ALL%23
I suppose it would be longer if I weren't turning into a couch potato because of, ironically enough, the Olympics.
The Goodreads site seems to have more functionality than the Visual Bookshelf, which I joined through Facebook, and the discussion groups are cool. I was disappointed that the assignment wasn't for LibraryThing, which intrigues me, but c'est la vie. I do like it that the group I'm in is made up of parents and teachers, as far as I can tell. It's a different forum in which to discuss kids' books. In terms of a library application for this, Goodreads certainly offers more than functionality than Innovative reading history does. Maybe we should have it pop up as an option for our users, linked to their account somehow. Fortunately, I don't work in IT and don't have to figure out how this could happen.
