Interesting stuff. Online searchable book catalogues seem to be getting more and more intelligent - I came across another site that offers a similar service to LibraryThing, and allows you to recommend books to others. It's also in its beta phase and is still being developed, but has some really interesting features available already, including loads of book-related videos and forums .

I love love love Library Thing, for all the reasons you mention. (Except number 1, I didn’t know that before. One more thing to love!)

Users can stick with straight personal cataloging or social interaction, or any mixture of the two. Get involved as you wish. If you are the social sort, you can join (and create) book groups to discuss just about everything book-related. If you aren’t interested in the social aspects, you can turn off the “friend request” functions if you desire, or make your library totally private. No apologies needed. Flexibility is the key to LibraryThing’s success.

LT’s community includes a wide range of people. Serious folks can stray into “The Green Dragon Inn” for foolishness (and find a caring community who share birthdays and recipies for upset stomachs); locate a special interest group, or, of course, become aware of interests that overlap their own. We bless Tim for keeping it free of commercials. We thank the staff for their responsiveness.

I started using LT for the most superficial of reasons — a book widget for the ol’ blog sidebar. I must admit, I have yet to use it for much else…including responding to friend requests! Sorry guys.
