You can imagine how excited I was when I learned about the selection. Here’s the “scoop” …
As the former manager of Microsoft Network’s Books and Reading Community, Steve Brock has a large following of book fans who read his monthly list of recommendations, which has proven to be a valuable resource to not only book lovers, but the acquisitions departments at academic and public libraries, and bookstores (both online and brick-and-mortar). Pageviews are running at over 250,000/month.
Steve is currently the Director of Moderation Services at Mzinga, a provider of online community software and services, where he also promotes books in the communities of some of his high-profile clients, one of which is the TV-show The Bachelorette (official online community at http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/message-boards#!/forum/1348004835-478-526)
Since Amazon has removed Listmania, we should all applaud Steve’s contributions at Goodreads.com where you can join him. Also, you may wish to share your compliments directly with him at [email protected].
