LibraryThing

This is just a quick post to link to LibraryThing, and to correct what I said in class, as it has not been bought by Amazon, and instead is simply 40% owned by ABEBooks. Still a corporation, of course -- but the correction is important.

And I'd also like to call attention to the two LibraryThing blogs: this one is the original, and covers site updates/changes, etc. The other blog, Thingology, discusses "the philosophy and methods of tags, libraries and suchnot" -- and in doing so, they approach some of the issues that Landow and Shillingsburg deal with, specifically democratization and access choices.
