LibraryThing's social features have been compared to bookmark manager Del.icio.us[6] and the collaborative music service Last.fm.[7] Similar book cataloging sites include aNobii, BookLikes, Goodreads, Libib, Shelfari [now merged with Goodreads], and weRead.[8] LibraryThing is majority owned by founder Tim Spalding.[11] Online bookseller AbeBooks (now owned by Amazon) bought a 40% share in LibraryThing in May 2006 for an undisclosed sum.[12] In January 2009, Cambridge Information Group acquired a minority stake in the company, and their subsidiary Bowker became the official distributor to libraries.[11] At the end of June 2006, LibraryThing was subject to the Slashdot effect from a Wall Street Journal article.[13] The site's developers added servers to compensate for the increased traffic. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5891.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5891.txt
