I like the bundled Facebook app, but I guess it could be improved on. A decent Twitter application is definitely needed (one written to work *properly* on the Storm), TwitterBerry comes close but is too frustrating to use (tiny links, doesn't scroll properly, keyboard won't hide, no landscape mode).

Dean, if you haven't already - you should try version 3. Massive improvements have been made in regards to memory usage.

The hours of operation are pretty much a guideline to when the most agents are online. You can visit the live chat page at anytime, and if folks are logged in, Foxkeh will say "we're open!" :-)

Sure thing :-) It pays to note LT cannot currently extract any other data from your import, apart from the ISBNs. It's just considered too darn complicated to create an import that supports every possible file format by the variety of cataloguing apps (not to mention home-cooked spreadsheets etc).
But maybe one day we'll see such a feature - the site is still young, but backed by ABEbooks and an enthusiastic and growing team. The thing I like is LT may not be extremely "Web 2.0 pretty" but it is heavy on data, I find similar sites too focussed on good looks rather than features and quality/quantity of data.

Welcome to LibraryThing - it's a brilliant website, especially with the very active discussions with "touchstones" that link to authors and titles within the site.
It pays to note that as well as Amazon and the LoC, you can choose from around 50 worldwide libraries (LT uses free Z39.50 connections from these Libraries to search data) to search from and find works to add to your collection.
As for importing from Delicious Library - the site has a "Universal Import" on the "Joy" tab - this will accept practically any kind of file format or even copy/pasted links. It scans through the file and pulls out the ISBN's which it then places into a queue and queries them against the sources of your choice. Depending on how many other people have ISBN's in the queue will affect how long your import will take, as they have to limit the number of queries they push onto sites like Amazon and the Libraries.
If you have any questions, feature requests or bug reports - see the discussion groups under the "Groups" tab, there's a heading entitled "Standing Groups", which are all the site-related groups.
