LibraryThing is a larger, geekier version of Shelfari.
Quoted: Enter what you're reading or your whole library—it's an easy, library-quality catalog. LibraryThing also connects you with people who read the same things.
I love books, and would love more useful recommendations by taste than what a retailer like Amazon offers, but I'm too lazy to enter in all my books just to show them off.
Plus, my 100 year old 'antiquarian' books don't have ISBN codes.

Anyone used Shelfari? How about LibraryThing, their competitor out of SF? In a quick, superficial evaluation, I've determined that Shelfari has much nicer UI design than LibraryThing, but that LT has a much larger, and nerdier, user base. Despite the alure of both services, I'm still not convinced. It's too much work.
Quoted: Shelfari makes it easy to see what your friends are reading, what others with similar tastes have enjoyed, and even get and give book recommendations.
