Libib vs LibraryThing in our news:
2016. LibraryThing allows to export your home library to excel
Online library management tool LibraryThing has added book export to Excel (that complements traditional CSV and TSV export options). It's a minimalist and simple operation that allows you to quickly get a list of books for editing, publishing or sending to friends. The developers have made the headings bold, changed the width of some columns and defined some column formats as text and some as numbers, but otherwise left the data as is. They say they've tested this new feature well, but there are so many versions of Excel that there may be formatting issues.
2009. LibraryThing faces Amazon incursion
Amazon is requiring online book management software LibraryThing to remove links to other booksellers (IndieBound and Barnes and Noble...) on work pages and to put the primary page link to Amazon alone. Links to other booksellers are prohibited. Everyone at LibraryThing disagrees with this decision. LibraryThing is not a social cataloging and social networking site for Amazon customers but for book lovers. So now LibraryThing is creating a new “Get it Now” page, with links to other booksellers, especially local bookstores and libraries and a host of new features. It will cut back its primary-page links to Amazon alone and give people better secondary pages. The page will be edition-aware and draw on feeds or live data (so the links work). Many members have wanted live pricing data for the books they already own and these features can be used for that purpose too.
