State of Connected World: Amazon VS Barnes and Noble

Amazon’s app ReadingList on LinkedIn.com won’t sync with Amazon’s Listwish, somewhat disappointing. Isn’t technology, collaboration, and cloud computing Amazon’s forte? It would be great if Amazon can release sync-able ReadingList for other social sites and particularly Facebook. It will be easier for the user to maintain single BookList as well as a business opportunity for Amazon.

It’s far bigger revenue opportunity for Barnes & Noble to fill the gap, being they are late in the game. This trivial utility could have a sizable impact.
