I can see what you mean by the post where its going to get crazy
keeping track of all the different flavours of the different API's out
there. The Goodreads feed, if I'm not mistaken only grabs the
'bookshelf' feed rather than the currently reading shelf. From what I
can see its a limitation of the way Goodreads is setup, but I can see
the usefulness of a toggle between the two shelves (currently reading
and read) depending where the majority of your books were, or once
again the ability to aggregate different feeds/shelves to different
groups.

I know right now if I could add blogs like that (just keep adding rss
feeds) it would be a great start. Keep up the great work, all the
enhancements seem to be right where I need em.

Hey Tombmedia,

I've left this message in my inbox for the last few days as we've been
pondering how we're going to deal with this.

We want to let people add more than one blog, and that seems to be a
different problem than letting users add as many feeds as they like
with generic RSS.

Part of the issue is our data model but it's also important that we
ensure that the information we compile is useful and usable, so some
structure is required, even if only a little.

This is at the top of our list now, so we're actively working out all
the details.

I just wanted to let you know that we hear you, and that we're working
on it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Aaron
