I don't like 360 really. It's a small way to keep in contact with my Yahoo folk, but it's really lacking. I'll see if MASH will be an improvement. So far, I want to take it slow. I like the collaborative feel and the greater freedom left to members (and their friends/contacts) to change and transform profiles and pages.

Just registered at Powell's and posted a mini-review for Junot's latest and added it to the Daily Dose contest. Today I read this on the site:

Powell's Books - Daily Dose

Wednesday, September 5th Today's Dose by Ronald from Brooklyn, New York

Congratulations, Ronald, for claiming your $20 gift certificate!

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz

Ronald's comments:
The decade-long wait for Junot's first novel was well worth it....[A] melange of literary styles: at turns a memoir...an urbane history of the Dominican Republic and a fantastical journey. Fans of his short fiction will be greatly rewarded, as will newbies. (read more)

Guess what I'm getting with my certificate?

If you're in NYC today (Thursday, October 6th), he'll be reading and discussing the book at the Union Square (17th & B'way) branch of Barnes & Noble.
