I liked Library Thing, but found some faults. The author I looked up had over five different profiles, and all with different details...The recommends are misleading, because there are several lists and only some apply to the title or subject that you are looking up. I'm the kind of person who likes to fall down the Novelist rabbit hole and see where the recommendations take me. With Library Thing it gets annoying because I end up being shown novels that are unrelated and just happen to be popular when I didn't ask for them. That having been said, the reader reviews are great.
I will use the site both personally and at work when exploring topics, but definitely not exclusively.
