All Things New | 
Did anyone see this? Or am I just super late to the party as always..(lol) Sounds like new things might be happening for the Litsy community. The #LibraryThing Q&A is a helpful resource.

readherwriteher Yes. I read that. I hope they just leave it alone. I love Litsy just the way it is. I hope they don‘t plan to monetize it or mess with the algorithm. I enjoy seeing posts from everyone, in chronological order. 6y
Jess_Read_This @readherwriteher Same here! I like the barcode option and maybe a better update to the book database. But I really hope chronology stays!! 6y
ValerieAndBooks I got this via email today from LibraryThing (been a LT member for 10 years) 6y

readherwriteher @Jess_Read_This I like the barcode thing, too. 6y
readherwriteher @ValerieAndBooks this was the first I‘d heard of Library Thing. Can you tell me more about it? 6y
Jess_Read_This @readherwriteher @ValerieAndBooks Same here! I‘m not super familiar with it either 6y
Cathythoughts I don‘t really understand what the new plans are. But I love the fairness of the chronological order. Not sure what part FB could play. Not that interested in FB .....only just saw this , so not sure what‘s happening 6y
elkeOriginal This is GREAT NEWS! I have used LT for cataloging my books for many years. They are hardcore bookfolk who will give Litsy good, clean data - which it has sorely been missing. LOVE this! 6y
GarthRanzz Only heard of it when I got the email this morning. Never heard of Library Thing. 6y
Jess_Read_This @Cathythoughts I agree... I‘m not super interested in FB either 6y
Jess_Read_This @elkeo Thank god for getting good clean book data. That has been desperately needed! 6y
Jess_Read_This @GarthRanzz Same here. I didn‘t get an email. I just saw it pop up on another social media app and was surprised. 6y
elkeOriginal @Cathythoughts @Jess_Read_This I think FB is just how/where they want to have a convo. It‘s not connected. 6y
GarthRanzz As long as they don‘t mess with the feed (I cannot stand non-linear feeds) or introduce algorithms I‘ll give them the benefit of the doubt. But anything like Instagram or Facebook gets done I‘ll probably drop offline. 6y
GarthRanzz But I am excited for a cleaner, larger book database. 6y
Jess_Read_This @elkeo @Cathythoughts The Onward Litsy group on FB is a public one where folks can offer their suggestions. It seems to be an information seeking group from Litsy and LT users. 6y
ablachly Hi, LibraryThing employee here just to help with answers. Facebook is just a central place to have a conversation. And don‘t worry, we all love chronological feeds! 6y
Jess_Read_This @ablachly Thanks for the update! Sounds like a lot of exciting and positive things will be happening for the community here. ❤️📚❤️ 6y
GingerAntics Thank God for the chronological feeds post, @ablachly. I hope nothing MAJOR changes. The idea is great, but I‘m sure there are little tweaks we haven‘t thought of yet that we would love. I would love to be able to add the stats of a book that wasn‘t in the database yet. I think it would help other users as well. Then the powers that be wouldn‘t have to spend valuable time doing it for us. 6y
GingerAntics I need to go double check. I haven‘t seen this email. The big thing I really hope they don‘t change is the books read count. I‘m using it to keep track of my 2018 book a week challenge. 6y
ablachly @GingerAntics better book data is one of the first things we‘re working on, so the database is going to get much better. And no, we‘re not planning any major changes. We love litsy. We don‘t want to change it, just support it. 6y
GingerAntics @ablachly YAAAAAAAAAY!!! 🤗 6y
kspenmoll Have to check my email 6y
