Breathing New Life Into Books With Official Hashtags

Posted at 7:52AM Tuesday 21 Jun 2011

All books should have official hashtags so that people can discuss what they're reading as they're doing so. This would serve both authors and readers remarkably well.

Readers would have access to a sort of whenever-you-care-to-contribute book club, where they could discuss the content, share related links and recommendations, and–perhaps the most appealing feature to me–add people with similar interest graphs to their social networks.
