- Very easy, with the click of a button, to add your shelf to your blog.
- Books easily divided up into "reading" "read" and "want to read."
- Fun bookshelf graphic display would appeal to my students.
- It's super-easy to navigate and to add books--even if you don't know the complete title or author.

Shelfari
Since I tried out LibraryThing last week, I thought this week I would take a stab at Shelfari. I like it--and I actually think I like it better than LibraryThing, at least for the purposes for which I would use it (a classroom library online catalog, to be shared on a class blog or wiki.) Here are some features of Shelfari that jumped out at me:

I also prefer shelfari. I already had a shelfari account so I tried out LibraryThing this week. I feel that Shelfari is more visually appealing and it is certainly easy to use.
Like your idea about using it for a classroom library and sharing it on a class blog or wiki. It's not only a great way to keep track of what you have but it's also a way for your students to see what they could be reading.
Until you mentioned using it in class, I hadn't thought of using for recording books for someone else...perhaps this is my answer to trying to keep track of which books I've brought home for my husband, and which authors he really didn't like.
