I’m not so impressed with Library Thing. At first, I thought this would be a great way to catalogue books, tag them, post reviews, and share with students and other teachers, but honestly…the execution isn’t so great.  I explored the Library for over an hour and didn’t find it user friendly at all. I tried all the buttons to search including adding some “groups,” but most of the groups were abandoned and the search engine seems persnickety.  I don’t understand why there’s an Amazon Search, a Library of Congress search and over 600 others. Isn’t there an easier way?  Maybe I need a better tutorial, or maybe Library Thing just has some bugs to work out. I wonder what others thing too.  When trying to add “tags” my library addition kept getting deleted. Not user friendly and unless simplified, I think I’ll pass…
