DJ Adams has created a distributed book club application that “finds if anyone has been talking about any of your favourite or current books”, by crawling AllConsuming.net. This creates an RSS file, “which represents a sort of ‘commentary alert’ feed for that user and his books.”
From the “to do list” in DJ’s code:
Would be nice to be able to retrieve:
1) user book list for *all* book types (completed, purchased, etc)
2) book *comments* (recorded in allconsuming) as well as blog mentions
This is wonderful! This is one of the things that I started blogging for.

Hi Adina! Have you tried this application? I confess I am not entirely sure how it works…
