- Shelfari: LibraryThing with a New Coat of Paint? • August 23, 2007
LibraryThing seems to have a new competitor. Or, at least, I’ve just become aware of them.

I’ve been known to walk through IKEA paying much more attention to the books on the shelves than [...]
- The Joy of Strict XHTML • April 27, 2006
