Imagine what a comprehensive, open library could be!

Open Library Vision

Now this is a social network for which I feel good about registering. 📚

@simonwoods LibraryThing is pretty good too. I can get behind what Open Library is doing.

@bix Yep, same. I give this a bit of a pass largely based on who makes it and that it feels very much like a profile that is supposed to be for the long-term; an actual archive, which you can feel comfortable with just gradually updating over time.

@paperclypse LibraryThing looks good. Shame it's 40% owned by Amazon; it's like these companies always need to be a monopoly to some degree.

@simonwoods Technically AbeBooks, which amazon owns, but it’s a super valid point. Someone’s gotta pay to keep the lights on I guess.
