#1. LibraryThing was incredibly easy to register for (instant) and to use. I just copied the ISBNs from the Libraries' 13 chess books published since 1990. Especially interesting was a list of 20 recommended books that was given for each title in "my" library.
#2. Web2List seemed massive, so I limited myself to browsing the top 150 sites. The sites ran the spectrum from the simple and fun to the complex and professionally-oriented. Quite frankly, I'm unsure how to use these sites in a professionally-oriented manner. However, we're already using meebo.com which was #21 on the list. There were also several wiki-generating sites.
For fun stuff, Pandora (#17) was a computer-generated song provider. It seemed to "assume" that if you liked a Beatles song from 1966 that you would like all the songs of British bands from that era. I found it rather lame when compared to finetune.com with one exception: No Beatles on finetune.com (eyes welling up now). For wine aficionados, (which I'm not), WineLog.net (#124) has users "rate and comment on any bottle in their 10,000+ wine database."
Cheers!
