LibraryThing: Categorize my personal library



I found a wonderful free web2.0 service for categorizing personal, or small organization library last week. Roughly sum it up, it allows:
  • ISBN import, or manual CVS import
  • customizable view of 'bookshelf'
  • allows tagging, tagging cloud
  • searchable library collection
I have yet to explore it's social functions, but seems quiet useful to keep track of books I own so far. Unfortunately, it's multilingual function seems yet a little lacking. Trying to add a book with Chinese causes server error, and the library source in Chinese are sparse. Multilingual pages have varying degree of translations, some languages are more translated, some less. Hopefully, this area will get more development in the future.
