Es la Biblioteca del Mundo. Es un sitio de redes sociales inteligente. Es una celebración de la literatura y un lugar donde los libros cobran nueva vida. BookCrossing es el acto de darle a un libro una identidad única para que, a medida que el libro pasa de un lector a otro, se pueda rastrear y así conectar a sus lectores. Actualmente hay 1.966.802 BookCrossers y 14.124.476 libros viajando por 132 países. Nuestra comunidad está cambiando el mundo y tocando vidas, un libro a la vez.
I would say that what they do is encourage a trade-free sharing of physical books. The issue is that their main tools that they use for this are trade-based as mentioned in a previous review. And since that’s their main interface between people and them getting those books, then it should “barely” be included in this directory. They should use trade-free tools, else the people who use their website have to trade their data to Google and the like, in order to provide these books as trade-free.
It is such a shame that google analytics is being used on that website. Google is the biggest data collection machine in the world that then sells that data to advertisers. We don’t know if that’s intentionally or not, but it could be changed to Matomo for example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matomo_(software)).
Plus, they are using google maps for their bookmap: https://www.bookcrossing.com/bookmap – that could be changed to openstreetmap for example.
Estas son dos señales de alerta y eso hace que sea difícil decidir si incluir este servicio en el directorio libre de comercio o no. Dado que libre de comercio significa estar desprovisto de cualquier tipo de comercio, este servicio podría incluirse en la categoría rechazada por ahora. Si se eliminarán los rastreadores, es posible que aparezcan aquí.
