One of my favorite things to do is pass a book I love onto a friend to read. I have done this many times, either with my own copy or by buying the friend his or her own copy of a favorite book. I had never really thought about the fact that I do this electronically also.
I will continually post links on Facebook. As I am reading an online article, I will think so and so would really like this information. Frequently, I will find I want to send the article to more than one or two friends. It is usually at that time that I will post the link to Facebook.
I also tweet about online articles I love. It is often a RT (retweet) that will bring about a link in my Twitter feed.
My most recent thing is to really use my Delicious account to keep a list of what I am reading online. I really learned I should use this more when I attended a Time Warner Cable Business Class presentation on social media and business. Matt Hames has his Delicious URL on his business cards.
So, the question is do you share what you read with your friends, business colleagues? Just real, in my hands things you read or your electronic reading also?
You can see what I am reading by friending me on Facebook, following me on Twitter at @NickiinNY, or visiting my Delicious account.
