While I’m getting back on the blogging horse…

I realize this is old news now, but LibraryThing announced an API for work data. This is great. But what’s really awesome? This little tidbit from the post:

Scope. This is an API to work information. Once I’ve worked through the kinks here, I plan to release a member API, allowing members to do clever things with their data. For example, members will be able to make their own widgets, not just rely on ours.

I will squeal with glee the day there is a member API. I’ve been harping on the issue for ages, because I really want a way to make a “to-read” list that mashes up LibraryThing with my local library data. I can’t wait.
