Week 7 - LibraryThing

My present reading log consists of a Word document, accessible from one computer. Need I say that LibraryThing is a quantum leap beyond this? Now the task of entering "all" of my past reads into LibraryThing. Whew!



Strengths of LT: You can look to others tags for help in tagging your titles. Love the Suggester feature. Keying in one of my reads - Love Walked In generated Sunday List of Dreams by Kris Radish, amongst many other titles. Yet another way to add to my list of books to read.



Weaknesses of LT: The tagging is rather subjective; but I guess this helps distinguish what you liked about the book.


Question about LT: This really pertains to any software application that allows for tagging - are there tagging conventions, ie. do you separate tags with a space or a comma? do you enter a multiple word tag as one strung together word? do you worry about capitalization?
