It’s an exciting
day here at Shelfari. The rain has stopped, the birds are chirping and the
biggest news of all – we are being acquired by Amazon.com.
As many of you may
already know, Amazon has been a long supporter of Shelfari. They’ve worked
closely with us as we introduced readers, like you, to our global community of
book lovers. They’ve been there each step of the way as we brought forth new
features, like the cool Facebook application and our virtual bookshelf. And now
Shelfari and Amazon will work hand in hand to continue to grow our dynamic
community and create innovative new tools around the books you love.
We’ve got some big
plans ahead. With more resources and Amazon’s expertise in building a platform
where people come to share ideas, there are a lot of new opportunities in the
future that will benefit each of you. In the meantime, you’ll continue to have
access to the great community and tools that you’ve always known and used on
the site.
Amazon and Shelfari
are committed to enhancing our members’ experiences so we want to hear from you
on what we can do better. What changes or suggestions do you have? Tell us how you’d
like to see Shelfari and Amazon work together to make your site experience the
best it can be. We invite you to send us your questions, comments and
suggestions to questions@shelfari.com.
We look forward to
working with Amazon to continue with our mission of building great communities
that celebrate books. As I said earlier, this is a very exciting day for the
entire Shelfari team and community, and we are thrilled to join the Amazon
family. Thanks for your continued support and stay tuned for great things to come
on the site.
Best,
Josh
