What types of social reading are there?
Bob Stein is the founder of the Institute for the Future of the Book. On the institute’s website, he has posted a useful essay entitled ‘A Taxonomy of Social Reading: A Proposal’.
Please read at least the introduction and his comments on ‘Category 4’ to get a good understanding of what types of social reading there are.
As an aside, note that Bob Stein’s essay is itself embedded in a social reading environment that allows for readers’ comments in the right margin. (The comments function is closed by now, though, so you cannot add further comments).
