Just as a random question, is that Peter Andre in the photo?

Glad that LibraryThing works - tell your recalcitrant brother to add me as a friend! Your post has prompted me to scan some of my outstanding books too!

PS will be on Today tomorrow talking twitter as part of Rory’s package…

>I’m just looking for one where I can say “I’ve got/read this book, I thought it was good”.

couldn’t you just say that statement on a social site like …. TWITTER!

I would have recommended LibraryThing as well - but I’m rather surprised quite so many people did, because hardly anyone seems to talk about it.

I do wonder why imdb.com isn’t much, much better at sharing your films and recommending new ones, particularly as its now owned by Amazon - do they have any plans for it? The Facebook flixster app seems far superior.

Seems too much like stalking to follow you on Twitter, as I don’t know you - besides I’ve rather fallen out of love with it.

Librarything! Ball aache to add your library to begin with, and it would be amazing if there was some way that books were added automatically as you read them (just as music is added to last.fm as you play it) but until everybody is reading on a kindle-a-like, thats not going to happen. I love librarything, especially when you email them and a Real Person(tm) writes back. Personal service, completely the way forward.

And those of us who answered you on Facebook cos we have no interest in following your twitter feed ;o)

If I want to know what my friends are up to, I’ll phone them up, or email. Old fashioned girl, me.

The Famous XMPP and IMAP specialist…

Yeah, bugger off, James - you’re apparently the only person to use that phrase, according to Google.
But thanks for using your twitter stalkers to find me Library Thing, even if it means I actually owe Bill Thompson a thank-you, which is a strang…
