Thing 13: LibraryThing

LibraryThing on 23Things - we are at the apex of thingness.

My catalog is here.

My books span the spectrum of popularity; but they really rank about where I thought they would.

I also looked for local events; and found none.

Overall, LibraryThing is interesting. And it easily fits into a particular category of resources in our Web 2.0 universe. Namely, free space and technology that would be otherwise unaffordable or prohibitively time consuming. Not many libraries/librarians have to the time or resources to make these types of tools from scratch. It is interesting how the boundaries of library are blurred when a library locates many different resources in many different locations around the Web.
