As well as sharing photos online via Flickr, websites via Delicious, my ideas on my blog I also use LibraryThing to share what books I own, am reading & would like to read.
LibraryThing allows you to catalogue your books online & as your collection grows it can help connect you with other readers who share your taste. You can also connect with your friends & see where your collections overlap.
My main reason for using LibraryThing was because I wanted to keep a note of what I was reading with a brief review. In keeping with the festive season I have put together my own festive wish list of books I want to read this month.

We use LibraryThing for our Careers Information room libraries as we don’t have Library Management Software. All our staff have found it easy to get to grips with.
LibraryThing is also handy because you can easily export all your book records as an CSV file. We import those files to another website database so we can combine them in a new way with other tagged online information sources. It is this kind of flexibility and openness that makes it a real winner for us.

Great to see LibraryThing being used this way. I have an RSS feed to books I am reading on my blog and had an idea of using LibraryThing as a good way to promote recent ebook additions to the library, but never got round to seeing what was possible
