LibraryThing, I think I love you
I'm a book person. A voracious, omnivorous reader. One of the key components of my personal website I've been working on is the presentation of my library and my favorite books. Then I read ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
idiva's post about LibraryThing and I fell in love. I'm now putting the books I care about into My LibraryThing collection. Although I've hardly begun (only 40 books so far, a mere pittance) they are there for the world to see and comment on. I'll mention it again when I've got a more significant part of my collection and of the books I admire into the system.
LibraryThing's servers already show signs of strain - not because of my few books, I assure you! Like all great services on the web, as they're discovered, they suddenly have to handle a large load of requests. They're going to have to upgrade their infrastructure fast to avoid collapsing. I've helped a bit by buying a membership. I certainly hope they succeed and grow!
