So I just experimented with Library Thing and I like it. I think it will be really useful for when I'm browsing at the library or bookstore and I can't remember what books I already own. I really like how you can just add the books using a title, etc. This makes the tool more appealing to me because I don't have to be physically handling the book to enter it into my catalog. In some cases however (when an image of a particular cover was lacking), I had trouble figuring out which edition of the book I owned. The tool seems very forgiving and allows you to edit and delete with ease, features which also appeal to me. I can see where this tool would be helpful in fostering a sense of interconnectedness and specialized communication between people, regardless of their location, age or social status. What better way to do this than by connecting people through books and reading! :)
