Thing 35 Books 2.0

Books 2.0 has tools for connecting people who have the same interests in books. The first web site I checked out was LibraryThing.com which is a site where you can catalog your own book collection. I began cataloging and found it to be very easy. You can add tags to make recovery of your collection titles within catagories more easy. I am anxious to catalog my entire collection and then go hunting for individuals who have similar interests.

I am wondering how many individuals would take the time to catalog their personal collection. It seems a bit odd except for those of us who are "into" organizing our stuff. It is VERY EASY though. If I were in a large city, the LibraryThing Local could be a gateway to local bookstores, libraries, book signings, author readings or discussions.
