Thing 14 - LibraryThing

So, in order to do this, I decided to just pick some of my favorite storytime books to create my "library" -- and there it is as a sidebar. Whee.

So, I guess I can maybe, kinda, sort of see how this might be useful ... somewhere. But isn't this what my online catalog is for? I guess I don't have such a wealth of titles at home that I need to use an online tool to catalog and list them all. I guess I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do next -- link via my titles to other Library Thing users pages for more titles. Sigh. In any case, it is a pretty cool tool, although I'm a bit disconcerted that they list amazon as the first location where they look to match titles. Harumph.
