This thing:

Tim Spalding's LibraryThing is a brilliant evolution of social networking.
>From the most basic cataloging component to intuitive recommendations and
organization building, this network is a reader's paradise. Drawing from
Library of Congress and Amazon.com records building your own library and
sharing it with others is simple, straightforward, and enjoyable. Librarians
can join regional groups and leverage the social network to facilitate book
clubs and discussion groups.

I had signed up for a free account in 2008 and did little with it at the
time. Coming back again, I was astounded by the progress made by Tim's team!
