Tuesday Thingers--There's No Place Like Home


Today's Question: The LT Home Page feature. How are you liking it? Or not? Do you go here when you log into LT or do you use your profile page more?



Although I have LibraryThing set on my speed dial to load my profile page, I find myself clicking on my home page almost immediately, so I should reset my speed dial! I like the home page, and I like the fact that I can customize it to emphasize what's important to me: Announcements, Early Reviewer info, my zeitgeist.... I like the Tag Watch feature because I often find new-to-me books in certain genres that I collect. The only thing that bugs me about the home page is that I can't completely block certain forum threads. I can "x" them so they disappear, but the next time I load the page, they're right back. Some threads I'm just not interested in, and I wish that one "x" would do it!

If you'd like to see more responses to this meme, just click on the Tuesday Thingers logo at the top of this post!

  1. See, it's funny. Tag Watch is one of the sections I singled out to get rid of. Maybe it goes back to my recent post about my towering TBR pile...I seem to rarely have to look very far these days for ideas for interesting books to buy.

  2. The Tag Watch is the one section I really don't have a use for either, but it's interesting to read what others find important on the Home Page. Overall, I like the way it's constructed.

  3. I open up to my home page and only look at my profile page when I have a new comment.

  4. I guess I'm not using LT to help me find new books yet - I'm having too much fun reading a bunch of different things right now - I'll probably settle down soon and pick a few favorites :) then I'll be using the tag feature more. I hadn't thought of using it that way!

  5. I love tag watch. I have it watching dystopia. And I've found some cool ones that way.

  6. I haven't used tag watch, I may have to pay more attention to that in the future.

  7. I've found some great books using the tag watch too. I'm glad they added the home pages.

  9. I love that we can customize the Home page! I wonder about not being able to permanently X out a forum thread ... that sounds like a bug, doesn't it?!

    I only look at my Profile when I have a new comment to read.
