Another New Thing

I've been busy with a new (new to me) Thing called LibraryThing. I'd heard about it already last summer by word of mouth (of a librarian), but I finally put my nose to the grindstone recently and started LibraryThinging, that is, cataloging my home library online. Currently, 50 books down, about 2000 more to go. Hey I'm counting my husband's and my children's too. Lots of items obtained in garage sales and library friends' used book sales. So far so good.

LibraryThing is a Web 2.0 application because of the social aspects in it. While registering, I identified myself as a Blogger participant, too. I'm learning more about that every day as I go, and the more I know, the better I like it. Good thing.

So, I still don't understand the what and why of LibraryThing. Can you explain it to me at our next MILI meeting?
