This was not my first encounter with LibraryThing; in one of my GSLIS classes we explored this as a database structure and had to "reverse-engineer" it and make one of those awful IT diagrams with squares and triangles. NOT my favorite project!I use a similar book-cataloging program on Facebook (the name escapes me at the moment), but I like LibraryThing too. I did like the feature where one could click on the title and access alot of information, including tag clouds. LibraryThing could be a useful way to keep track of a reading list--but, like anything else, one has to keep up with it, and that's the challenge. TIME and the lack thereof.
I used to keep a paper list (how antique is that?!) but I eventually abandoned it as being just TOO compulsive. But hey, I'm almost a librarian---OCD is a professional attribute, isn't it? :)
