cough Goodreads. Already has network effects going for it, and a very vibrant author community. It does pretty much what all the comments on this HN page suggest you should add/change.
Also, your site took almost 5 minutes to load. That is simply unacceptable.
- rahooligan 14y agoWe focus on critic reviews to create a recommendation of higher quality (they don't do critic reviews).
- rprasad 14y agoAh yes, I can see that now that the site loads in reasonable time.
- aristus 14y agoThere's a problem with "critic" reviews, at least from where I'm sitting: critics don't review anything that's not backed by a huge publisher, effectively locking out all of the small-time authors who might actually have something good. For example, I was interviewed about my book for School Library Journal, but the book reviewer side of the house refuse to even consider it for a proper book review.
