I checked out the different aspects of Library Thing. I'm already using the Visual Bookshelf on Facebook. They are similar in that both allow you to keep track of your books and read other people's reviews. I like the VB because it is simple and I can see what my friends are reading quickly. Library Thing has a lot more functionality with the tag clouds, and recommendations. I like following a tag to see what other books in that category are out there. I usually do that through lists on Amazon. The book suggester didn't work for me. It just brought up the book I entered.
For work, I could see creating a group to explore books on science. It could be a way of doing a book study for staff development.
