I have been on LibraryThing and Goodreads before, but I can really see the potential to embracing these sites. Not only can we socially connect with others about books we love or would like to read, but as a librarian, we can see what others are saying about books and consider these for purchase.
I signed up with Goodreads and was given the test. Afterwards, I was linked to others who share my preference for books. Sweet!
I kind of agree with the author about LibraryThing. It's a little retro. I didn't know Shelfari was owned by Amazon. Is there nothing they won't do?
I will definitly bookmark these for future reference. I can see the fun of creating an online bookclub.
