I spent several good years of my life as a senior cataloguer and have the scars to prove it. So I was interested in the facility for mere mortals to catalogue their own books. The Library Thing provides for fairly basic cataloguing and is perfectly simple to use. The most appealing feature allows users to add individual tags and reviews.
I added 5 titles and reviews to my "library":

One interesting aspect to this whole Web2 revolution is the vast proliferation of the same essential information with multitudes of variations in a completely unregulated environment. Hopefully, at some stage in the near future people will realise that sometimes less is more and they'll start working more cooperatively as with Wikipedia.
