Seth Godin Recommends Books on HugDug

By Dianna Dilworth 

sethgodinreviewsAuthor Seth Godin has been using a new online community called HugDug to share reviews of his favorite books and authors. He has reviewed a couple of books on the site including Steve Krug’s Rocket Surgery Made Easy.

“One of the biggest benefits we’ve found in the way people use Hugdug is their ability to share the work of people they respect,” he explains on his blog. “Today more than ever, ideas spread horizontally, from person to person, not from the top down, not from an ad or from a talk show or from a promotion.”

HugDug is an interesting new online community from the founders of Squidoo that is worth checking out. It is currently in beta and is designed as a site to allow people to share recommendations and discover products and reviews. The site lets you read reviews by reviewer, as well as by category and then links to the product’s listing on Amazon to make it easy to purchase the item. There is also a featured charity every month.
