Did I mention Filedby to you guys?

There's a new link-to-me kid in town and somehow Sharon is making waves. The thing is, this start-up offers all the writers in the US and Canada a place to have a sort of web presence. And Sharon mentioned in in her blog, because, in part, she thought that such an innovation wasn't really needed -- but you see, you have to "claim" your page, if you're a writer, else someone else could, I gather.

I went to http://filedby.com/ and as I type I see that Sharon is currently listed as Most Viewed author, somewhat ahead of J.K. Rowling, Sara Nelson, and Stephanie Meyer. I don't see my name in the most viewed list -- but see, they don't seem to have a good way for co-authors to to sign in together.

by the way, Sharon's original blog post about this is ... http://rolanni.livejournal.com/411725.html

And away we go ...

Went by and claimed myself. Will contemplate what to do with it later . . .

It appears to list only those who have their names on the cover of books--novelists, collaborators, etc. Those of us who have only published shorter works in magazines and anthologies don't seem to have appeared on the radar screen for inclusion in this effort. Dunno if that's good or bad.
