Funny that Fred Wilson blogged today on AVC about good books for entrepreneurs to read. Public/Celebrity profiles validated!

@AnthonyMarnell Haha, well said. Beyond that - would love to know what @fredwilson is reading today! Open sourcing knowledge gathering in real time would be huge!
thanks @gillianm - definitely trying to do some good work to rally the PH community to get more users and feedback on how we can improve while we're in beta!
We're still kicking here at Roundview - even though we are Made In NY - and would love to answer any other questions or hear thoughts / feedback from other hunters!! cc @tkalimov
Thanks @eriktorenberg for posting us and to the @ProductHunt community for engaging on Roundview Beta. We appreciate all of the thoughtful and nuanced feedback!

@josephkerns@tkalimov, saw your email today that you are closing down. I was expecting that you would scale up, such as for 'reading goals' and some self-awarding emoticons for meeting those goals!
I wrote about Roundview at a @medium post yesterday, check out at: https://medium.com/@vingar/key-t...
Wish you good luck for your next plan!
@harryraymond great question! This is admittedly a place where we need greater focus - we loved what @Point said about their focus in the comments - “privately sharing & talking about links with your friends”; we think of this as more “publicly demonstrating what you are learned / interested in”. If you take the take to time to watch all of CS138B - you will probably want others to know about it / engage publicly on the knowledge you gain.
There are a few specific places we get excited about for highlighting people's interests/reading:
1) Personal: Construct a “library” showpiece for friends, colleagues and other users to better understand your reading habits and interests
2) Job Interviews: Show potential employers a reading history snapshot related to their firm/industry to demonstrate interest rather than a cover letter
3) Journalism / PR: We are going to be experimenting on this front in the coming weeks - but we would love to help start-ups get better PR by giving them a clear mapping of what journalists are interested in / write about so they can reach out to relevant journalists
Would really love everyone's thoughts on these and any other ideas!
