"Our hypothetical MySpace Store has yet to materialize, but Bebo has made a step towards the sale of retail items through the launch of a Bebo bookstore, seemingly called \"Bebo Authors\".  You get the sense that Bebo is just dipping a toe into these waters: they seem to have just dropped in an Amazon aStore with a bit of Bebo styling.  Some authors do seem to have their own profile pages, but these haven't been tied together in the same way as Bebo Bands or MySpace Music.\nIt was always clear that social networks would partner with Amazon when it came to selling goods through their sites, but the integration needs to be much deeper to realize the true value here - users could rate and review books and have that info  displayed on their profiles, while reading lists, wishlists and the rest would also emphasize the social aspect.  And don't forget that Amazon also allows users to buy and sell their old books - since Bebo and MySpace attract large numbers of students, there may be ways to drop in this functionality for book trading between friends."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
