Today's question: Here is a list of the main areas of Library Thing:
1. Home (http://www.librarything.com/, before you log in)
2. Home (once you log in, contains Your Home, Your Profile, Connections, Recommendations, Reviews, Statistics, Clouds, Gallery, Memes)
3. Profile (Recent activity, tags, comments, members with your books)
4. Your Library
5. Your Tags
6. Add Books
7. Talk
8. Groups
9. Local
10. Search
11. Zeitgeist (Stats, Top Lists)
12. Tools (Widgets, Store)
13. Blog
What area are you most familiar with? What area is your favorite? What area are you curious about? Are there any that you have not really looked at?
I’m familiar with pretty much all these areas, except home before you login because my computer automatically logs me in every time I use LT.
Home after you log in is a good place to start from, because I enjoy playing around with the various features (I especially like Statistics). On my profile page, I like looking at the “reviews” page, because I enjoy looking at the review other people have written about the books in my library (and most of the time, I’ll give a “thumbs up” to the review if it’s well-written).
I don’t look at my library all that often except for when I need to find a book in a hurry.
Tags: I use these prodigiously; my average I think is 2.6 per book or something. And since one of my tags is “TBR,” I’ll look at that tag sometimes in order to figure out what to read next.
I don’t use Talk all that much, but I do use the Groups feature a lot. I must check my groups’ forums about five times a day! I spend a lot of time lurking in "ARC Junkies," mostly because I like seeing what other people have snagged.
I don’t use Local as often as I probably should, considering the city I live in and all that it offers.
I’ve only used the Tools section sparingly: to put a widget on my blog.
And sometimes out of boredom I’ll take a look at the Zeitgeist section. So that’s the extent of my use of LT.
