Had seen LibraryThing about a year ago & thought it was pretty great. Looking at it again it seems even better. For me it's a perfect fit between the capabilities of the technology - in terms of linking to shared information (e.g. bibliographic details and personal libraries) - and something people might want to do - track their reading and share it (or not, if you choose a private account). It seems that some thought has gone into the issues of bibliographic control that librarians care about, too.
And so easy to create an account! Just a username and password!
I noticed that someone had catalogued a short story from a collection as a title, that's an interesting situation, as there wasn't a link to the anthology it came from.

Mmmm that's a phrase we don't hear often - "just a user name and a password". Most people are finding the multiple identities they have in cyberspace a bit of a challenge to juggle. Others are reusing the same password and login over and over which seems smart too.
