CLP 2.0 Do you see any practical applications for LibraryThing either at home or at work? Will you start using this site?

I had a look at this site after taking the tour and found it too busy with way too much going on at one time on the screen. I doubt I will ever look at it again as Facebook has a Visual bookshelf if I really wanted to keep track of everything I read. These things just seem to be more and more of the same things with their own twist but ultimately just filling up the cyberspace.
If I were looking for a book and a review on a book....I'd use amazon or google it and go to the author's site or some other link. Our own elibrary has more useful info...ie NoveList.
