LibraryThing announces major addition...

The fine folks at LibraryThing have announced a major new feature: Talk. LibaryThing is, as I have mentioned before, a hybrid of social networking, shared booklists and such things (do not miss the Zeitgeist). It is really a great way for the bookishly inclined to loose tremendous amounts of time.

The new Talk feature appears to be a means through which they can embed/integrate a/sychronous communication with nearly all features of the site...an interesting concept...time will tell if it works. I respect a great deal that they state in the announcement that, "At LibraryThing we don't release finished features. We release interesting features, and see how things go and people react." It will be interesting to see how this works out...regardless, explore LibraryThing and have some fun (I need to add more books to my list...urgh).
