Library Thing...

From the shameless plug department: If you have not discovered Library Thing, go now.

Think of it as Social Networking for Bibliophiles. You can "catalogue" your library (or any portion thereof) and it effectively shows you who else shares your strange obessions. You can play with others or poke about silently. I've discovered WAY too many new and interesting things I "must read."

Best of all, it was started and remains based in Portland, Maine. My little town. Who would have thunk it? The only downside is that they have recently sold a bit of themselves to ABE. With luck, controling interest remains locally and ABE will not attempt one of their ham-fisted efforts to "improve" it (admittedly, I have some mild ABE issues at the moment...it's a love/hate thing...quite refreshing).

I mean it, go HERE now...explore...most interesting thing on the techo/biblio front in a very long time.
