Pretty cool. I ended up making an account with both services to really get the feel of the two. Both had good and bad things about them. I thought that Library Thing had a better tutorial but Good Reads seemed to be easier to add books and notes to each book you entered. When I first was reading about these two services I was excited about being able to list all the books that our family owns, but after entering just a few titles I realized that cataloging all of our books would be very time consuming. I think that these services are great for people who want to keep track of the books that they have read during the year but not for going back and entering everything from the past.
I do like the little widget and where on Library Thing you can access your list on your phone, so when you are at the book store and are not sure if you have the book you can check.
I know a number of patrons who I will recommend these two sites to, but I don't know how much I will use them.
