Had a lot of fun playing with Library Thing. What a neat website. Sign up process was extremely easy. Quickly added a bunch of books to my list. Not sure that I will keep this up though. I have a good system in place for keeping track of the books I've read on (gasp) paper. In all likelihood, I will continue with my established system for the simple reason that it's quicker and will leave me more time to read. I do plan to spend more time on Library Thing checking out some book reviews.
Now for Facebook. Believe it or not, I had never been on Facebook before. (Perhaps the last human being to venture there?) I have promised myself that I will become a member when one of my kids signs up, so I can keep an eye on them. Had a look at the Green page. Was interesting to read but in my humble opinion it seemed like very few posts actually had anything worthwhile to say. Lots of whining, complaining, swearing, bad grammer and spelling - all things I would like to see less of in the world. From what I have seen this week on Facebook, I don't really think that the library would benefit from having a page there.

Library thing can be quite a fun tool but it certainly takes some time to set it up with all your books, if you read a lot...but it can be a really neat, efficient way to track what you want to read.
Many people share your opinion about facebook being set up in organizations. With all the hype out there and so many organizations itching to get a facebook page I really wanted to impress upon you guys that although these are fun tools, they can turn into negative things without proper policies and monitoring.
