The book-specific social networking site LibraryThing still sells the CueCat. Up until about a minute ago, I don't think I had ever heard of either of them.

LibraryThing still sells them BUT they were originally sold by magazine companys and RadioShack...It is actually used on the UPC Database too...

You know, I had no idea that Library Thing was considered a social networking site... but apparently it is! So obviously that is the answer! Considering the advantages with ISBN codes that kind of makes sense. Oh... and although I LOVE Veronica Belmont, I'd equally love to have Tom Merritt's signature if I'm so lucky! ;-)

I just subscribed to the podcast of this show. I was subscribed to the CNET one, and although I have been listening to TNT since it came out - I did not know about Tom's reprisal of this favorite of mine.
