As a way to publicize the new Sony Reader, Sony has launched “Words Move Me,” a site that allows bookworms (who, me?) to share their favorite quotations with one another.

This is, as TechCrunch points out, effectively a literary Twitter: Users are allowed to contribute “literary moments” of up to 225 characters, and tag it with whatever emotions the experience evokes.

I submitted a favorite passage from Haruki Murakami’s Norwegian Wood:

“How much do you love me?” Midori asked.

“Enough to melt all the tigers in the world to butter,” I said.

The New York Times ups the ante this week, introducing Gadgetwise, a new blog that will compete with gadget-centric sites like Engadget and Gizmodo.

In the most exciting post of its inaugural week, Gadgetwise reports that Life Magazine’s photo archive is now searchable on Google Images. This is amazing! I used to be obsessed with Life back in the day, and their photography is absolutely unparalleled.
