LibraryThing powers the nifty book thingie on my sidebar. It will let you do up to 200 books for free, which is nice. The cost isn’t bad at all – you can get an account for the year for 10 bucks or a life time account for 25.
Since that is the cost of a book or five… those of you that have it, is it worth it? I don’t ‘do’ anything with mine yet. Other than clicky that I have it so it shows up on the sidebar. I see tags, I could do like due dates for reviews and such I think, which would rawk. What else do you do with it?
I love LibraryThing cuz I’m crazy and anal retentive and enjoy inputting all the books I get. But it is good for keeping track of what you own. And it’s pretty fun to look at what’s in other people’s libraries.
I generally use it to compare what books other people have, usually based on who has the most books in common with me.
Maybe I just missed it, but I don’t see any place on this blog to get a paid advertizement. This site could probably benefit by having its own advertizing setup. There is a nifty software that allows you to sell and serve ads on any website, using a php ad management script. It’s very simple to use and the best part is that you get to keep 100% of the ad revenue, rather than whatever any affiliate program might be paying you. This advertising system is probably all that you need but you can still run other 3rd party advertisements as well if you want to. It can even be used as a WordPress plugin right out of the box! If you want to get more money out of your blog then this ad manager is for you. Just think of the possibilities. Check it Out -> http://su.pr/328DkN
