Possible Opportunity: FiledBy introduces new author-centric website with free digital marketing and community building tools

I recently learned about a new opportunity that might be of interest to other freelancers, and thought I'd pass it along here.

FiledBy, the most comprehensive online marketing platform and author directory on the internet, launched in March with over 1.8 million pre-assembled author sites. FiledBy provides every published author in the US and Canada with a free, hosted, search engine optimized and e-commerce enabled web page. Any published author can easily update and enhance their pages as well as individual books. FiledBy provides a central location in which authors can be easily found on the web and the tools in which to promote themselves and their books.

Additionally, FiledBy offers readers the ability to connect directly with authors who are active on the web site. Readers can create an account, build and collect favorite authors and books, write reviews, rate books and authors, and add comments through wall postings. They can search for new books by author, title or subject of interest, as well as interact with each other by creating groups and recommending titles.

I think I'll look into this a little more. It sounds interesting...anyway, I wanted to pass it on for anyone else who might be able to use the service.

Anyone already working with FiledBy? I'd love to hear your experiences!
