I just wanted to take a moment to let everyone out there know about Shelfari! I had never heard about Shelfari before and discovered them though 'Ask a Librarian's' Myspace. Who says that myspace can't be used for good? lol.
Shelfari is similar to Library Things in that it catalogs your collection and even categorizes it into sections like 'read', 'wish list', etc. But Shelfari is more like a social network in that it is set up similarly to myspace. There are members, groups you can belong to, you can tag books, see who is online, see new members, etc. It's like a social network joining people with similar interests in books. How cool is that? And the way that Shelfari showcases your collection is very neat. They have your books arranged on a bookshelf and if someone highlights the book they are given the option to add the book to their shelf or go to amazon for more information on the book. And the thing that caught my eye is that Shelfari has an myspace app that you can add to your myspace account to have your book list displayed on your myspace profile! How cool is that?
Here...have fun!
