Website of the Day: WEBook

Sure, many of us want to write a book, but some people (ahem) are a little too busy playing/working on the Internet that they don't have the time to sit at home working on a manuscript, let alone try to break into old-school publishing!

WEBook wants to change that; calling themselves a "next-generation" publisher, WEBook is kind of like a social network - but when you're done, instead of quiz results put on your Facebook page or a wall full of "What have you been up tos," you have a book.

See, WEBook users join up and pick projects - and then collaborate to write whole works. Then the WEBook community votes on the best ones, and then WEBook publishes the book (one has already been finished and published, "Pandora"). So log off Facebook and get cracking!
