I'm sorry, I don't keep a journal of every reader request I've ever
seen or
heard and I didn't try to make any claim of 'absolute truth' I said
it was
probably the biggest reader request I had ever seen which I stick by.
Want
rough numbers? Amount of people who have personally told it to me, to
my
face? In the 100s (over 200 less then a thousand). That I have seen
2nd
hand where they were just commenting somewhere on the internet or in
print?
10s of thousands.
Just providing me links to pages where this feature is requested and
optionaly a way to compare with other requested features would be very
kind. I don't have your experience, I can't emit any relevant judgement
if I don't have a minimum material on which I can base my reasoning,
don't you think?

At some level? Everything. We have long found that every little extra

copy
the link and go to their site and paste it (hopefully along with a
short
description) means MUCH MUCH less people will do it. This is true
even if
that was how they were used to sharing content, however it's even
more true
when it is NOT how they are used to sharing content. They are used to
sharing it with buttons and those buttons 'invite' them to share, to
spread
the knowledge they found. That isn't contrary to our goals, in my
mind
it's EXACTLY our goals. A book is near useless unless it's read.
While I am also enthusiast with the share and spread knowledge goal, I
don't think that any means are admissible regardless of other ethical
concerns. And it's seems that even on the legal ground they may be
issues regarding the Term Of Use of most popular social media (see
Matthew Roth message in this thread).
