Wild Thing, Library Thing

It turns out, I like the application Visual Bookshelf, on Facebook much better than LibraryThing. I think having an application like this for our users to opt into would be great, especially if it automatically held the books that they had checked out or read. I read some reviews of titles that I had put on and found them lacking. In truth, I since I'm not the type of person to write a review for pleasure, I don't think I can appreciate people that do. I think the act of writing it makes their judgment suspect in some way. The suggestion area seems not to be so great either. I requires that you tag at least five books before they offer suggestions. I'm assuming that then the suggestions are based strictly on your tags. Visual Bookshelf didn't require it, and I was able to get some very good suggestions. In truth, I can remember the books that I've read, and I don't want to really share that information with others. Again, though, I think it is great for those who do. It just ain't my bag.
