Wow, brands have to spend $1000 per month to keep their verification. I thought 8 per month was a rip-off!

How is your Swiss German? I quite like SRF Digital, but it’s likely completely incomprehensible.

The feature I liked most in goodreads, was that it would send you a monthly email with “new books by authors you’ve read”. It would send it at the start of the month, which was not actionable, but if you’d just wait a few months reading it, it was easy to see that LE Modesitt Jr finished another book in the series I enjoyed.

They stopped sending that, now it’s a “here are some books we want you to show some interest in”.

I got a bookwyrm account, and apart from not knowing all the books I’ve read, they also can’t tell me what books have come out recently, by authors I enjoyed in the past.

I’d think that would be a basic part of any book collection tool.

I thought that was godaddy?

If there are some big players (like in email), i think the biggest risk is that the big players would end up only talking to each other.

Similar to email, where a random host is likely to be spamming, that might happen here too. (Although I’m not that familiar with the protocols here)
