I had heard of a site that would allow me to upload my personal collection of books but hadn't looked for it yet. It was nice to find out more about it. I added a few books and tagged them and then searched for other users who had similar interests to mine. I like the Recommendations section, too.
I read several posts and looked at the Thingology blog, but I had trouble finding the sections on ThingLang, ISBN Check, and MARCThing. I did finally find and read them all, but I didn't understand much of what I read. I don't understand the significance of ThingLang since all my books are in English. (Maybe that shows my ignorance.) Are librarians using this site or these tools to find info about their collections?
I'm not sure if this is a site I will use often or not. It seems like something I might use if I had a lot of leisure time, but I'm not sure how useful it would be for my job. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any.

I had trouble finding those things too. I did try to get some of the free books (early reviewers and member giveaways), so that might be nice!
