I’ve been covering FiledBy.com since it was in beta and encouraging authors to officially register their pages on the site and use it as another way to get some Web 2.0 traction.
This morning Tamara Crabtree was kind enough to send me their latest press release , and it serves as a good reminder to urge all of you to claim your pages. (And hat tip to my pal Charles Decker who is brilliant and was the one to tell me about FiledBy.com in the first place nearly a year ago when it was still in beta.)
Why should you take 4 to 5 minutes and fill out your profile on the site? Because it’s worth your time in Web 2.0 and it would be silly not to do it.
The site currently has over 1.8 author pages and more than 7.5 million book pages. It’s like Wikipedia for authors except without the geeks running it who are fighting over what people can submit and how to keep it pure (like they are on Wikipedia.) The site also offers really cool bells and whistles for authors to utilize.
“Go, go and do this now,” she says, (in her clean up your room voice.)
Note: I love geeks and am married to one who is taking a “hall pass” tonight with his buddy to go see Wolverine and can’t wait to see Star Trek. So geeks are good – just not when they’re fighting.
