It would be nice if you could also add support for swapping via Bookins (bookins.com), as you did with BookMooch.

Hey zoltancsaki - you need to be using Twitter (http://twitter.com) - the username is actually a Twitter username, not specifically a bkkeepr one.

Follow the instructions here: http://bkkeepr.com/how

@Eyloni - can you tell me which book you were trying to add? That Amazon ASIN doesn't look valid, but I'll look into it...

eyloni replied on August 14, 2008 20:56 to the discussion "What Library app / Social Network are you using?" in bkkeepr:

James, I believe the bookmooch support is having some hiccups on my end. So far I tried using it for three different books, but it fails to locate them on Bookmooch's site:

You have added a book you own and want to give

Sorry, this book was not found at Amazon.

If you think there is a problem at BookMooch, please email us and include the URL at Amazon you came from.

Thanks,

I do a lot of swapping on paperbackswap.com and it might be neat if there was some kind of integration.

James [bkkeepr] replied on July 31, 2008 10:50 to the idea "abandon" in bkkeepr:

Hey - just wanted to follow up on this one - which I totally agree with.

There are some issues around how we record and display books abandoned in this way, but it's certainly on the list...

Hi wembley -

It's an interesting idea, but I do feel it's just substituting one arbitrary piece of information (the nick) for another (the ISBN) and it would still be pretty easy to get the nick wrong - forgetting whether you'd called War And Peace 'warandpeace' or just 'warpeace' for example.

While fiddly, the ISBN is at least consistent, and always in front of you. I'm always looking for ways to simplify the process, and although I don't think this is quite it, I'll keep doing so...

Thanks for the kind words, and glad you like the service.

James

Woohoo! I got satisfaction!

@eyloni - nice one, and it's done :)

Search is a little complicated, but you can now add a book to bookmooch directly from books pages. More info: http://tinyurl.com/6zhswl

Cheers guys! It's been a bit quiet recently, but have some interesting developments on the way...

I'd love to see a BookMooch.com integration:

1. Being able to click from a book's page to a initiate a BookMooch search.

2. Being able to add to my bookmooch inventory the book I just finished reading.

Thanks,
Eylon

hard to do, but interesting; imagine sticking a cover photo there, too. ...via twitpic? just doodles... :)

I actually came here to post this same idea, so it gets my vote.

I am not a coder, but it sounds like something that a greasemonkey twitter script can handle.

Sounds good! I'd totally be up for helping out with coding this feature, if you're interested. . . – Alec Resnick, on June 26, 2008 18:03

Hello - thanks for this.

I'm not planning on changing the badge now as people have it on their blogs, but I'll think about adding another badge option.

Your RSS suggestion is a good one, and I'll look into implementing it, and try and notify you when (if!) I do.
