Kindle Network From Twitter Followings – Social Reading
The Kindle reading network has some interesting possibilities.
- Book clubs
- Education:
- K-12,
- College
- University
- Community Ed.
- …
The key might be to arrange around some circle of relevance. Classes and topics make sense as these are areas one can identify interest in.

Kindle Changes – Apple iOS App
Terms of Service – Compliance
See the difference between the two screenshots? The one on the left has the “Shop In Kindle Store” button that takes you to the Kindle store in Amazon.com to buy books. The link was removed to comply with the terms Apple has set forth. I’ve never used that link to buy books.

Top Blogs in Google Reader – Shared Posts
Above is a screenshot of the reading trends from Google Reader for my account. In particular, it shows the ranking of blogs that I share with other people on Google Reader. If I had to eliminate the bottom 90% of the blogs I subscribe to, these would all be in the 10% I keep.
Regarding the “Twitter / Favorites from Admore”, that is a feed of tweets I’ve added to favorites and consider sharing with people in Google Reader. In this way, I can share funny, amusing and informational tweets with people who most certainly have not seen them.

Notes:
These are some of best podcasts I listen too. There are more, but they are not focused on business, technology or marketing quite like these.
This Week in Venture Capital is a relatively recent addition. The three or four episodes I’ve listened to were outstanding. See links below.

Our Newest Employee: Techathew Cruncherin, Google+ Maven | TechCrunch:
As per Google’s very, very clear rules, someone has to run it, so we’ve hired someone! Meet Techathew Cruncherin, our newest employee. He’s shy, so you may not see him around much, but he lives here at TechCrunch headquarters. Under a desk. He’s an awesome guy. And he lives for Google+. Loves it. Shares the shit out of our TechCrunch posts. It’s awesome.
Was laughing out loud at this work around. Imaginary person brought to life.
