Already heard about LibraryThing. Maybe someday I'll consider entering my library after I retire (if it's still around). It's an interesting concept. There is the old privacy issue again. How private is private. My library doesn't contain anything that would set off Homeland Security bells, but I'm still not comfortable with the idea of putting it out for the whole world to see.
My deliberately empty profile is here. http://www.librarything.com/profile/mskriss I know all about creating book catalogs and tagging, so I don't really need to practice it here. According to the FAQs, if I don't have any books in it, they will delete it for me in 3 months. Then I don't have to remember yet another name/password. One of the reasons I limit what I do online is because I don't want to have to keep track of dozens of user names/passwords. It's hard enough remembering all the ones I need for work, banking, prescriptions, etc.
