Has anyone heard of or had experience with Webook or Authonomy?  Authonomy.com and Webook.com.

Thoughts on trying to submit to agents this way?

On Authonomy the people there hardly ever look at your work. Their entire critique will be on the first paragrapgh and will most likely be a repeat of what eveyone else is saying. And the only way to make it to the top 5 is to be online 24/7 begging people to pick Your work. Also I've heard various complaints from other people i've known to be on there.

The page to dame on weebook doesn't really help either--it's an extremely long process although if you'd like to give it a try I say go for it. If your looking for feedback there are a handful of very good feebackers there but not a lot.

There's also wattpad--but that's worse than the two aformentioned. I know a couple of people who were successful in the inkpop--another division of authonomy. The feedabckers there are pretty good. The top 5 get a review from the HarperCollin editorial board. It's a great accomplishment to mention when your querying.

Hope that helps :)
