I already mentioned Library Thing in one of my previous journals, but I'll go ahead and talk about it again! Hey, this time I get paid to mess around with it a bit more - Wicked Good! Another cool feature I have discovered about Library Thing is the ability to display your catalog in 5 different ways. Maybe when dealing with your own catalog this isn't as helpful, but if you are browsing someone elses catalog this could be a real benefit. In the spirit of web 2.0 there is also a feature which lets you create a list of random books or recent additions from your catalog and add it to your website or blog. I added one to my blog. Its on the upper left side. I think I may try to move it - wish me luck. The only thing you have to be careful about is that clicking on the image of the book will link you to Amazon. However, you can create widget lists that contain only text if you are squimish about schilling for Amazon.
So here is my Library Thing catalog. Its not much but I hope to have my whole library cataloged one day (sigh).... http://www.librarything.com/catalog/acmcguire
