Library Thing

I can't remember all the details of some of the limited range of features I found in using Library Thing or the frustrations about what it is not, but I do remember from trying to help some people in Discovery Sessions that you cannot edit some things once you have posted them, and need to email the team that runs LibraryThing and ask them to make the changes, which is not very "Library 2.0." I also remember that I was assigned, way back in September, to "catalog" at least 7 of my "personal library" books to LibraryThing. I got carried away and catalogued 12 iof them. It was a lot of fun looking up the edition and seeing if they had the cover in their database or not, and deciding what tags to choose, and seeing the reviews and ratings of others who owned a copy or had read the books. This is a great service/toy for readers and obsessive organizers and folks who like to share book knowledge. It could be better, and I'm sure it will get better. Here is my library of 12 books and here is my profile.
