I'm still wondering if this idea is good:
http://techneur.com/post/635311152/announcing-mindspread http://techneur.com/post/635311152/announcing-mindspread Call it 'Pay-It-Forward for Books'
It's essentially a webapp where you give someone a book with the promise that when they are done reading it, they will then give it someone else, and so on and so forth. You could then visualize your 'impact' upon the world by seeing how many books you've spread and where they've gone.
Any input?
- TheSOB88 16y agoSimilar idea: http://www.bookmooch.com/ http://www.bookmooch.com/ You're supposed to trade books, you use points to order books, get points by sending them, etc.
- jonpaul 16y agoThanks for pointing this out. There is one major difference, Mindspread is suppose to be completely altruistic.
- heyitsnick 16y agoSomething similar is bookcrossing.com. You read a book, then 'release it in to the wild' by leaving it in a public place with a sticker and unique book-crossing ID. Other people can then pick it up and pass it on, leaving a trail online of it's travel across the globe. It can be entirely free, although there is a store where you can order the stickers, and unlock 'pro' features on the website.
