I have had a Library Thing account for a while now. I love it (when I remember to use it). I typically use it to remember all of the books that I use for read-alouds. I also love that you can use it to tag books with subjects that you would not find in the catalog, for example books that use metaphors. This is helpful for when teachers come in looking for these items and you just can't think of any off the top of your head.
Tag clouds I have known a little about. I did not know however that the reason some words are bigger than others is because they are searched more. That makes so much sense. I think that tag clouds are great because sometimes you just can't find the right search terms to find similar books and this will help.
