BookJetty

With BookJetty you can list your books, connect with friends, use a book based community, check local library holdings (though quite how this is achieved escapes me since there doesn't appear to be anywhere on the site that lets me do that) and blah blah blah. Does this sound a little like LibraryThing? Or Shelfari? Or GuruLib? Do we really need another of these things?

I'm all in favour of competition, varied resources, different approaches and so on. But this is starting to get a little ridiculous. LibraryThing is way in advance of all the others, so the first thing any competitor has to do is give me a good reason why I should use it, or change from my previously preferred option. Does bookjetty do this? No, of course not.  Next!
