Similarly, Goodreads is a targeted social network for readers. As well as letting me keep up with what friends are reading, it provides features like keeping track of books, reviews, etc. I have not seen the kind of development of community on the site that is described happening on Revelry though.

Now imagine if these sites could interconnect with a common, open protocol, and a user on goodreads could be friends with a user on Revelry.

Doable now with OStatus, is it not?

Only partially. A comprehensive social networking protocol isn't available yet.
