"Gimme dat ding"

Librarything -  a great tool for Readers Advisory work.  Especially keeping an eye on newly released fiction.  Seemed quite straightforward to use but I will be going back to look at all the additional features.  The fun "Unsuggester" feature which tells you which books you will hate based on those you love would bring out the contrariness in anyone.
This is an example of a Web 2.0 technology which gives  people the power to catalogue and order their home libraries - which until recently was only possible within the realms of libraryland.
