  I’m delighted to note that the first book on the University of Pittsburgh’s “purchase circle” is Neal Stephenson’s Quicksilver.

  Quicksilver is #3 on the list for Apple Computer.

  And am I the only one who is sad that Google is not on the company list?

  Okay … Quicksilver is also #3 at IEEE.

  Here’s my suggestion for a new info feature for Amazon:

  When you take me to the page for a book (or DVD or whatever), tell me the Purchase Circles in which the book is in the top 5 (or top 10). This would be a potentially interesting complement to the “people who looked at this book also looked at that book” info.
