Thing 13--LibraryThing

My question now (even before we reach the Facebook and MySpace Thing) is what possible use (or time) do I have to participate in a dozen different social web sites that demand learning how they work, participating in their conversation, adding a profile and information (as in the books I've read for LibraryThing) and on and on and on? I think we need an OpenID equivalent for these sites where you can share your information with all of them at once.

On the Gripping Hand, I have to say that LibraryThing is interesting and useful and I see no reason why we can't use it with our catalog. To answer my own question the solution is to pick and choose the social media sites that best reflect your interests. My goal is to visit Library Thing regularly enough to make it useful for me.
