Co-founder of BookVibe

Interview Starts at 21:12

With BookVibe there’s less of a barrier to getting recommendations. It’s very simple. You don’t need your friends to be on the social network. You don’t need your friends to be ranking books on a specific social network. So it’s a lower barrier. My friends are generating these reviews all the time organically on Twitter, on Facebook. Today it’s Twitter, but we hope to add Facebook soon. We are able to tap into all these reviews and opinions that your friends have on books organically. So it’s a much lower barrier; you can get something useful right away.
