Serena on www.serenawho.com:Replied to Announcing indiebookclub by gRegor Morrill (gregorlove.com)I really enjoy indiebookclub, but I have a few questions directly in response to your post:
Can indiebookclub posts be syndicated to GoodReads?
Can the ISBN link to the GoodReads page for the book?
As a future feature, would you consider having indiebookclub extract book information from the ISBN (through Amazon or GoodReads), such as book title, author and book cover image?
Thanks, Serena. I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
I don’t currently have plans to link the posts that appear on indiebookclub to a third-party service like Amazon or GoodReads. However, since the ISBN is sent in the micropub request to your site, plugin/theme developers could use that information to link the posts on their site to a third-party service.
I have made some improvements during the IndieWeb Summit which I will write more about soon. It’s now easier to make bookmarklets to pre-populate the new post form. This should allow developers to create few-click options for adding books without typing anything. It also makes it easier if you see someone else’s read post and want to quickly add it to your list.
