Shelfari – Read, Share, Explore! Or just look at the pretty visuals.
Published 1 year ago, in Blog, Web
Shelfari is a website for people who like to read. Put simply, you can create a virtual shelf containing all the books you’ve read, are currently reading and wish to read in the future. You can then share that with your friends, or maybe just jot down that perfect Christmas wish-list (I know my list is always chock full of books).
The concept may not sound all that innovative, and it really isn’t. Shelfari’s design is, though. Clean, crisp Web 2.0 looks combine perfectly with Wood or Mahogany textures reminiscent from that old study your grandfather used to spend whole afternoons reading, and the virtual bookshelf feature is really well implemented. No Flash here, it’s all CSS and Javascript under that beautiful hood. They also let you customize your shelf as a widget so you can include it on your blog or page. Visit the site, fall in love with it, and as long as you’re there, check out my profile.
