[Links] Collection Managers

[Online Service]
Listal - A web based DVD, music, game and book collection manager
http://www.listal.com/

LibraryThing
http://www.librarything.com/index.php

My search experience:
I just forgot the Listal web site at first when my friend send me the link of Delicious Library, a collection manager software for Mac. And then I try to find out where I had seen Listal before, I lookup the blogs that I had read recently but I got nothing.
Then I try to search it in Google using keywords like "books, dvd, collection manager", but I do not see Listal at first. But I see the LibraryThing, it's a similar service. So I just search LibraryThing in Google Directory Search, I found it is belong to the category "Reference > Libraries > Library and Information Science > Software > Collection Managers", and Listal is just one of them, too.

Here's a partial list:

LibraryThing
Listal
Lib.rario.us
Stuffopolis
Socialogue
Mediachest
Reader2
Bibliophil.org
Douban.net
StuffWeLike
Colib
DVDSpot
DVDAfficionado
MyFilmz.com

ConnectViaBooks

That's without Chinese, Japanese and Swedish, and without getting into the music sites.

The best? LibraryThing, of course!
