Anobii and facebook book shelves

I had a look at the Anobii site in March. It seems to be one of the more attractive sites for sharing my reading interests with others. I have reviewed and rated a number of books and joined two discussion groups. However the numbers on this site are low so activity seems to be a problem. I have not visited the site for number of weeks now.

Alternatively I have also started using the Facebook "We read" application to construct a online book shelf. Like Anobii it allows users to review and rate or discuss books with others. I have not posted any reviews or found any friends through this application yet. But posting what you read or do not read can be useful for further developing a personal digital profile. However like Anobii there does not seem to be widespread use of this application on Facebook. None of my friends bar one currently have a bookshelf on Facebook.

I have also started to use the World-cat application on Facebook.
