First of all, when I arrive, I have no idea What the app is for, how it helps me, etc. I suggest you add a paragraph or two explaining what it does and how to get started. But overall it's a pretty cool site. Good luck!

I started out with Java, but I've worked in PHP for a few years now. I dabbled with Django, but this is my first attempt to build anything useful in Rails. It uses the Amazon API to gather book data, and obviously authlogic + facebooker for Facebook Connect.

Why would I use this over Readernaut: <a href="http://readernaut.com/" rel="nofollow">http://readernaut.com/</a>

Is this just a way for me to log what books I've read? I'm not really getting the point, I'm sorry to say.

Phonetically, readit could easily be mistaken for the immensely popular reddit. This seems rather important from a branding perspective.<p>I assume its meant to be "read" sounding like "reed," not "read" sounding like "red".. but it's easy to see how this could cause confusion.

Is this just a side project .. or can you share your vision and plan for this?<p>I like it, but I have to say that I've been using Shelfari for a while and it appears to pretty much do the same thing.
