Fifty Shades; Abandoned Books; Facebook Infographics
Galleycat published an article titled, The Most Abandoned Book List. Of course the infographic was created by goodreads.com, which makes me wonder how accurate it is and how they chose the data, but I thought it was interesting to see that Fifty Shades of Grey and The Causal Vacancy were up there in the top two.
Goodreads has created a great infographic exploring the books most often abandoned by readers on the social network. The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling topped that list, followed by Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James.
I don't think it was a "great" infographic. I think it was boring and they could have just printed a list to make it easier on readers.
Frankly, I didn't finish reading the goodreads infographic for lack of time. But I actually finished both Fifty Shades and Casual Vacancy, and I like them both, too. For that matter, John Irving's, In One Person, wasn't a simple book to finish. But I found that when I reached the halfway point of the book it started moving faster. The same went for Fifty Shades and Casual Vacancy. I think I may have even mentioned that in at least one of my reviews for those books.
Speaking of infographics, there's also a link in this article to a page that explains facebook's inforgraphics so that you can pick and choose who you want to follow on facebook and who you want to keep separate in case you're worried about insulting them with religion or politics, or whatever.
Awkward Facebook situations are now easier to avoid with the wide release of Facebook’s new search bar, Graph Search. By using Graph Search to sort your friends by their stance on divisive topics, like religion or politics, you can immediately figure out which friends to unfriend, hide in your feed, or at least move to a separate list so you don’t offend them with the truth.
I wonder what would happen if I typed in "Which one of my author friends is totally full of crap?" The key word being totally. We're all full of a little crap at times. It's just that some are more crap-filled than others (smile).
But on a serious note, you really do have to have a great deal of time to suss out everyone on facebook in your friend list, not to mention patience. I'd rather read a few offensive updates about politics and religion. Do we really take it all that seriously anyway?
