Amazon acquires Shelfari

Friday, August 29th, 2008

To some observers, the merger was inevitable. Amazon.com has acquired the book lovers’ social network Shelfari.

Shelfari said in a message to its fans:

“It’s an exciting week here at Shelfari. You may have already heard, but we were acquired by Amazon yesterday. Yeah!

“Amazon has long been a supporter of Shelfari as we grew into a global community of book lovers. And now Shelfari and Amazon will work hand in hand to create innovative new ways to enjoy the books you love.
Rest assured that Shelfari will live on and only get better. We’ve got some big plans ahead. In the meantime, you’ll continue to enjoy the great community features you’ve always known and used on the site.”

To some other observers, it’s not such a great fit. To read more, CLICK HERE.
