Thing 19 revisited: LibraryThing and Groups.

Feed. In doing a search for this book (by M.T. Anderson, and another favorite of mine), I visited Groups, and recognized the names of some of the groups that had come up in my search for ratings/ravings or a discussion about Once and Future King.

Groups look pretty cool. Some folks are members of MANY groups. There are interesting stats on the Groups page: Standing groups, Groups with most members, Most active Talk, Most read groups, to name a few. You start to see names of participants repeatedly, as they exchange ideas on different books. These are all little communities. I would say that Groups is the very essence of LibraryThing and the social networking concept.
