Do lists make you feel better?

If so, read on. As I try and keep up with my reading, and blogging my reading, I got pretty excited by Booxter. A Mac OS X application for cataloging your book collections, Booxter seems to be a smart, focused, network aware application that does one thing — record your book collection — very well. I write “seems” because I just learned about it this morning and I don’t have time to experiment just yet… but I’m intrigued. Besides smart application of the online infrastructure that has sprung up around books, Booxter employs the iSight as a ‘scanner’ for ISBN #s. That’s just one of the many, many ways it offers to make a difficult, potentially dreary, task as painless as possible. The feature list offers export to a text file, which opens up a way to get the information onto a website… say, like a blog. I would think that tying an application that is already so network-aware to a website would be very compelling. In a similar vein, take a look at Guzzlefish.com for a collection management site for movies and music.
