I am already a member of Library Thing, but I did link my collection to my non-27things blog today.
People are always asking me about what I've been reading, so now I can easily refer them over to my blog.
I checked out Shelfari, but I'm already biased against them, beacuse Oprah has been pushing this sitein her magazine. Also Shelfari claims to be the original book cataloging social networking site, but Libray Thing actually is. Shelfari came into existence in October of 2006 and Library Thing got its' start in May 2005. This I know from looking at both websites. I don't like misleading statements. I also notice that Amazon is funding Shelfari.
Libray Thing also has a more grass roots feel to it, and it seems to be attracting a more eclectic group of readers.
Gurlib lost my interest because it includes music and videos. I would like to stick with literature for now.
