Librarything on Business 2.0

One of my favorite magazines is Business 2.0 It seems to be the business magazine for my generation. They cover all sorts of interesting startups, technology and big corporations with a fresh approach to business. I really enjoy each issue. I also read their blogs. This latest issue had an article on LibraryThing.

I've been using LibraryThing for about a year now. It's a site where you can catalog your personal library. When I first joined I thought it would be a good tool to be able to trade books with friends. Like other social networks you can see what books are in other peoples collections. I thought if some of my friends get on it I can see if they had any books that interested me and do a trade. I haven't really finished entering all my books yet, in fact I had a dilemma whether or not I should enter books that Elizabeth brought into the collection or just keep our libraries seperate, still haven't totally decided what to do about it although I have added some of her books.

I've had a widget on the side of this blog for just as long as I've been a member, it rotates between different books in my library. I feel that provides a small glimpse into who I am and what shapes me. It's a cool site. Let me know if you sign up so I can spy on your collection.

With all my moving, it's hard to keep my books. They're heavy and big. I only have about 10 books right now. :(
