CPL 2.0 - LibraryThing

Was the site user-friendly? Did you find it difficult to navigate?

I've never used LibraryThing, so I did the tour and a few searches, read some reviews, looked at a couple of libraries...and I still like NoveList better.

It annoyed me that when you clicked on a tag, it took you to a page of information about that tag - I wanted to get a list of books that were tagged with it (that just seems more intuitive to me). Overall, I think it would be useful as a way to keep track of your own books, but I can't see myself spending much time on the site - I found it confusing and a little frustrating to use. Amazon strikes me as a better source of information about books, including reviews and recommendations.
