RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Lulu.com, the marketplace for digital content on the Internet, today announced the availability of its weRead book discovery tool on Yahoo!, the world's most visited home page. Yahoo! is integrating its new homepage with the Yahoo! Application Platform (YAP) bringing together the most useful information and functionality from across the Web. weRead is the only book application offered on Yahoo!'s new homepage released today.


weRead uses Facebook and other social networking sites to help readers find new authors and authors find new readers by recommending books based on users' virtual bookshelves and feedback within their online communities. weRead enables readers to catalog their books via their own virtual bookshelf, rate and review them. Readers benefit from the more than 20 million ratings and 2.6 million reviews written by people they recognize and trust rather than reading reviews from strangers.

Yes, I will be checking out Lulu for self-publishing options. Hoping to talk my good friend Christina into doing some (pro-bono) PR work for me!
