> I don’t think seeing where someone is reading is enticing. I agree that if we explode the word "reading" into everything it might be an analog for, then some of this could make more sense. If "reading" a page on the web is supposed to be an analog of "reading a book", maybe most don't want to see others. But if "reading" a page on the web is supposed to be an analog of "attending a lecture" or "showing up to vote" or "standing in line to buy a ticket", then "reading a book" may not be the best frame of reference :) (I think about this stuff a lot. I lean extroverted. Maggie and I seem to be working through the same thoughts I've been picking through for the last few years, so I'm definitely a bit biased as to the wisdom of the post :)
