Bookjive to Follow Google's Footsteps

June 29, 2006 (Press Release) -- Garrett Smith, President of Bookjive.com, a book summary service, announced that the company will follow Google's Mantra and Not Be Evil. Bookjive will donate two percent of all profits to help combat global illiteracy. “Reading has been immensely influential in my life” stated Smith. Google is donating somewhere around 1 billion a year to charity. Bookjive wants to help encourage companies take more responsibility for their communities. We can’t expect the world to change if we are not willing to change yourselves and the way we interact as businesses with our communities. Global illiteracy is stunting the mental, spiritual, and economical growth of millions of people all over the world. The company felt it important to make charitable work a foundation of what they are about and why the work so hard. Bookjive was started by Garrett Smith back in November of 2005. The site focuses on providing valuable concise book summary to help readers review and preview books as well as freely discuss them. The site is a wiki very similar to wikipedia.org. “We chose a wiki because of the total freedom it gives to the sharing of information….it’s limitless on a wiki, it’s free to grow unrestricted.” commented President Garrett Smith. Emphasis is being given to business books primarily because of the caliber of those readers. Garret feels that these readers are men and women of action. People who actively read business books are the innovators and movers of the world. Bookjive wants to make the information these innovators read easily accessible to everyone. To encourage summaries to be written Bookjive donates a book to inner cities schools for every five summaries that are written by their users. These books will inspire young minds to look beyond their surroundings and fuel dreams of becoming more and accomplishing great things. Bookjive.com will become an authority on books and eventually be a platform for writers to not just contact their readers but actually launch and presale new books.
