Are you a book lover? Like to share good books that you've read? But how do you remember everything you've read or what's on your 'To read' list? LibraryThing is a cataloging application that allows you to keep track of all the books in your life, whether it's one you've just finished or a title you've heard about and would like to read sometime in the future. LibraryThing also connects people with the same books, comes up with suggestions for what to read next, and so forth.
If you want it, LibraryThing is also an amazing social space. Like Flickr, it employs tagging, meaning you can add your own genres and descriptors to help keep all of your children's picture books or historical fiction together.
You can check out other people's libraries, see who has the most similar library to yours, swap reading suggestions and so forth. LibraryThing also makes book recommendations based on the collective intelligence of the other libraries.
For Thing #10:
1. Take a good look around LibraryThing and start your own account.
2. Add at least 5 books, tag them, and take a look at what other people are saying about those titles. Explore the groups, find friends, and see if you can find a new book that interests you.
3. In your blog, talk about your experience and post a link to your new account.
