iRead (Now weRead) crosses 400,000 users
….and shows no signs of slowing down. It has barely been 100 days since we launched our first Facebook application, Books iRead. But we are already the largest online book community in the world with more than 400 thousand users. We’d like to thank the fantastic facebook community for supporting and encouraging us. That encouragement has led us to build on our initial success and create a feature-rich application at an incredible pace. iRead has book clubs, personal book recommendations, fun quizzes, iReaders like you, and lots more innovative and unique features.
Right from day one, our focus was on creating a vibrant community of book lovers, not a staid book shelf application. Community and the inter-connections between community members enfold every aspect of iRead. On a book page, a user can see all the members of the community that have added that book. When a user marks a book as a wanna read, he/she can see the friends that own a copy of that book. A books’ rating is split to show how a user’s friends rated it different from the rest of the community.
We are on our way to launching many more engaging and fun social features on iRead. Almost all of the ideas have come from our iReaders. If we haven’t heard from you yet, please go ahead and tell us how you’d like iRead to shape up.
