LibraryThing
Bookseer
Drop.io

• Blend it all together• Web sites are now of different importance• Everything should link to everything else
In summary

• If a tool only does one thing, drop it• Forget loyalty• Try it and see what happens; understand what
you want to achieve• Combine and blend• Take control!
