I liked LibraryThing. It was easy to use and understand. I started by adding some of my favourite books and series and could easily spend a lot of time adding a lot more, which I may do later. At first I didn't really see the point of it. If I wanted to see what I had in my library I can check my shelf, everything is in order there and easy to find. Though after some playing around I decided that there was more to LibraryThing than just adding books. I quite liked the LibrarySuggester and the UnSuggester was interesting but a bit random. I think I'd like the Suggesters a bit more when I have more things in my library.
I already use a similar thing to the LibraryThing on my facebook page (Visual Library) which includes books that I'd like to read. It would be nice if there was a way on LibraryThing... I just realised I could probably add 'read' and 'unread' tags but I imagine that would take a lot of time. I'm not sure if LibraryThing will be something I continue to use in the future. I added random books from my library onto my blog. Not too random at the moment as I only have books from two authors in my library at the moment. I also added a search box to search my library on my blog. I had to adjust the size a little as it went off the page at first, but it's fitting nicely now.
While on LibraryThing I joined the group Librarians Who LibraryThing which looked like it had a lot of interesting topics and discussions. I'm sure when I have more time I will have a look at a few and possibly subscribe to the rss feeds that are available (am loving bloglines by the way!)
It would be nice to have a MusicLibraryThing. I do have a last.fm account which is great but to have my own music library online would be interesting. Is there a site that does that? If anyone that reads this knows - please comment.
