So what do they win, a cookie?
They get a pretty cool looking cube that lights up when touched just like most of the programmers I know. And bragging rights.
I was beginning to wonder if there’d ever be an update to Delicious Library.
So what do they win, a cookie?
No, they win a sh*tload of free web traffic from Apple.com.
We users win too as this reward creates competition and new/innovative products.
But you were trolling of course.
Delicious Library totaly rocks, I’ve got a fairly big library (120 movies, 130 CDs, and nearly 500 books) and have been putting it all in DL, it picks up 90% by ISBN and has a fairly good chance of picking up the others, only had a few foriegn books and pre-1900 printings that didn’t show up. Searching for books is nice, as well as the stuff for loaning it out to friends.
If anyone has a bunch of books/CDs/Movies and want some help keeping track of them all this is the app for you, even has a dashboard search that really works nicely.
