I love this thing

on
LibraryThing continues on its winning way with a feast of new features since I last wrote about it.
  • Subject headings now offer an alternative method for exploring the private collections of books making up this wonderful database.
  • Bookmarklet to quickly add a record while browsing Amazon
  • SelectThing - a firefox extension that grabs highlighted text and searches on Amazon or LibraryThing
  • SpecialSauce recommendations - I don't know how this works, but it has prompted me to put 3 books on hold at my local library in the last week.
  • Editions are now related with different cover art collated on the social information view.
  • A new blog with a philosophical twist - Thing-ology
