Library Thing

I hope Library Thing doesn't disappear. Here is a quote from an article about Amazon buying Abe and thus part of Library Thing.

AbeBooks also owns 40 percent of LibraryThing (a social app for keeping track of your books and finding other like-minded book lovers). Whereas Amazon is an investor in Shelfari. Now Amazon will own a piece of both of those competing startups.

I don't think it'll disappear any time soon. Here's the LibraryThing blog post covering the subject:

Have any of you tried Shelfari?

I have not, because Christa told me not to bother. So, Christa could answer this question better.
