LibraryThing is a great tool for keeping track of books you have read in the past, and discovering new books based on others tags. Creating an account was quite simple, seeing as you only had to create a user name and password then KABLAMO, you can instantly track books that you've read.
I must say that I like the tag cloud that is derived by others on LibraryThing and is now a part of our catalog system. Its just another approach in finding a book that you may or may not be interested in.

#6 Learn about tagging and discover Delicious
Delicious, not sure how I feel about this site. Im not really a fan of the layout and whatnot, but if I play around with it a little more I just may become a fan. I can see its effectiveness in that you can access your bookmarks from any computer that you go onto. Thats a great feature, because nothing is more frustrating than trying to find something online that you need to access but cant quite remember.
I like that not only can you tag, or type in tags that you may be interested in, but that some people actually give little descriptions of the site that they are bookmarking. Reading someones description may be beneficial in finding a site of interest.
I use google right now whenever I need to find something on the inteweb. Now though, I have another option when google search fails me.
