Heh... saw this on the bookcrossing page, just thought I'd post a link here just in case someone missed it. (It's hard not to but still...)

Interesting! I wonder if the number of new members jumped since that was aired....?

Neat! Thanks for posting Turtle; I never go to the main page anymore, and probably wouldn't have seen this otherwise. But I have 2 bones to pick...
#1 Scott said "register" instead of "journal" when you find a bookcrossing book... isn't there enough confusion around that point without our CEO adding to it?
#2 The last little bit Scott made it sound (to me at least) like its free to join BUT you have to buy labels from the supply store in order to register books... no mention that there are free options.

That was my thought to on #2!
Thanks for posting Turtle! I totally forgot that it was going to air and I meant to DVR it!

I thought the same thing about "a little bit of money" to buy labels...they're NOT so cheap (with shipping), they can be free or homemade and they are not necessary! A hand written note if just as effective!
Anyway, at least its spreading the word!

But you can just write down the BCID numbers in your book right?
Everytime the guy ask him a question Scott says, That's a great question. :rolleyes:
