I'd never used LibraryThing prior to today's exploration, but it wasn't difficult to navigate at all.
LibraryThing does have a number of very practical applications. I keep a list on my laptop at home of the books that I read. I've only been doing it for about two and a half years, but it's really neat to look back at the end of the year at everything you've read - I often forget about many books (particularly if they're library books and I'm not reminded of their existence by having them on my shelves at home.)
I also thought that the "local" area of the site was really neat, and could be excellent if the library and local bookstores added their events to the site.
In the end, although it's kind of neat, it's not a site that I need to join.
Also, if I can be nit-picky and critical for just one moment, I would say that they need to update their logo, because it looks very outdated.

So... we only have TWO MORE WEEKS of the CPL 2.0 project! I've decided already that I'm going to keep the blog, and I am excited about my future in blogging!
A catalogue of sorts...
