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 stevo@mzinga.com.
