Library Thing - working fine now


Got back on to LibraryThing today, and it is much more responsive now.

Here's my , about 30 books so far, mostly non-fiction as I haven't moved on to the lounge where the fiction books are.

There's a very cool app for the Mac called Delicious Library which is a personal library and cataloging tool. It has a very slick interface and lets you publish catalogues to your iPod or to web pages, but obviously doesn't give quite the sense of community that an online service like LibraryThing does. Other features include being able to scan barcodes with the computer's built-in webcam to save data entry, and it will catalogue other forms of media such as CDs, DVDs and video games.

I've added a screenshot at right to show just how polished the interface looks.
