We are not robots

Published by WJONES on 30 May 2008 at 5:24 pm under BookRabbit, Bookselling, Press

The period after the launch of any website is always a busy one. We’ve been getting lots of feedback and making lots of changes to site. I hope you like where we are going. Please keep all the great feedback coming - we really do listen to it.

Over the last few weeks we’ve posted about verious mentions we’ve had in the media, press and blogs. But this one that arrived today made us all smile that little bit more. http://julietdoyle.blogspot.com/2008/05/bookrabbit-again.html Thanks Juliet.

We’ve been focusing on lots of little usability changes to make the site just that little bit easier to use. So now you dont get taken off to a login page when you want to login - you just get a nice little login popup. The same applies when you add titles to your books or your wishlist. You’ll also start to see better help appearing accross the site.

At heart we are an oline bookshop. Bookshops have real people working in them. So we’ve put a new about us page us in. Contrary to some feedback, I can confirm we’re humans, not robots.

About Us

Keep enjoying the site.

We Smarter JacketSpringwise the new business ideas monitor picked up on an interesting site from the US this week called WEbook - the write up is here. They already mention a million Penguins, so I won’t.

I was part of the ‘We are smarter than me‘ project in 2007, my name is in very tiny writing in the middle of the back cover, the resultant book is pretty tough going. I’d personally recommend something written by one author.

This concept is a stronger one, more like a collective publishing company, than one that attempts to be creative together - although there are elements. I’d be interested in people’s thoughts. Also interesting is the fact that they use BookSurge to actually print the titles, which you might want to read about and seems to clash with the ethos a little!
