Have you found someone who has the same tastes as you? Or perhaps you think they really write great reviews? You may not know or be friends with that person, but you want to know when they add a new book or write a new review.
Last night, we pushed a new feature that allows you to "follow" another ReadingSocial user. If you choose to follow others, relevant information such as what books they've added or what reviews they've written will show up on the news feed on your home page.
To follow someone, you need to simply navigate to his/her bookshelf and click the "follow" button on the image module. As always, please don't hesitate to provide suggestions and feedback!

We've received quite a few pieces of feedback from everyone, that, when taken together, made us realize we had to provide better management tools for your shelves. Common suggestions and feedback we have received are generally around the following:
- It's not easy to delete an item from your bookshelf you have mistakenly added twice or don't want anymore
- There is no way to clear a rating
- There is no way to edit a review
- It's impossible to sort by rating or by author
Of course there are more ideas we've received, but all in all, they usually asked directly and indirectly for better ways to manage your collections. We're pleased to have recently launched a new tab entitled "Manage" that helps solve many of these problems. You'll find a spreadsheet-like interface that allows you to edit and modify most of your information right from the "Manage" page. If you get the chance, see what books you've read but are yet to review, add ratings to those you haven't read, or delete a book you've inadvertently added twice.
