[edit] What are Connections?
LibraryThing has several different ways of letting you connect with other members.
- You can add someone as your friend. They will be sent a message asking them to approve the "friendship". This will add their name to your list, and yours to theirs—it's mutual.
- You can add someone to your "interesting libraries" list. This adds a link to them on your profile page without requiring confirmation (although they will be notified). It's a good way to call out or make note of interesting members and their libraries (without necessarily claiming "friendship" with them).
- You can add someone to your private watch list. This is a private list, visible only to you. No one else can see who is on it.
- LibraryThing automatically generates a list of authors from your library who have created a LibraryThing Author account.
[edit] How do I add people to my Connections?
You can add other users to your "interesting libraries", friends, or private contact list by clicking the appropriate add link on the upper right of their profile page.
[edit] What's Connections News?
Connections News lets you see recently added books, ratings, and reviews from members on your Connections lists, as well as from members with similar libraries to yours.
