Things You Can Do

1. Put LibraryThing on your blog

Put a widget on your blog and show your visitors what you're reading now, random books from your collection, your tag cloud, etc.

Make a standard blog widget shows books, authors or tags

Make a search widget let your visitors search your library right on your blog

New: We're beta-testing LiveJournal- and MySpace-compatible widgets (Try this if the standard widget isn't working for you).

2. Get LibraryThing on your cell phone

Check whether you've got it when you're standing in the bookshop. LibraryThing Mobile gives you the power of LibraryThing and the... oh I'm sure you get it.
