| On Combining | A book I have loved Now shared with many reader friends Becomes a treasure
| Collections haikus? I really love all you guys: LibraryThing's special! |
| The philosophy of work combination cannot be explained in verse. | In Portland, Maine lay the Dread Pirate Spalding's den. (Treasure be coined there!) | Surreptitiously launched at midnight: a wond'rous gift upon waking. |
| The Kama Sutra is not to be combined with the pop-up version. | Down-coast works Abby, Librarian and First Mate out of Cambridge, she. | With pomp and fanfare, unveiled one fine afternoon. Dancing in the streets. |
| Translations fair game? Depends on your dinner party: Don't combine the Greeks. | Abuse ye not Dread Spalding and crew as they board a wayward server. | Two more weeks, dear friends, two weeks! Collective breath held: uh oh. Feeling faint... |
| We do not combine a last name with a full name. It breeds confusion. | Under skull 'n bones the Shelfari plunders all. Yet she remains poor. | Once this thing goes live, cD takes a holiday? I hear Ode to Joy. |
| Combined works, crystals of raw social potential. Don't lump where I split! | Autumn, past midnight Raccoons scamper overhead Silently, I Talk | What is now a tag will someday a collection be Oh let it be soon |
| Dread Pirate Spalding's Motto: Work Combination; World Domination! | The autumn night grows cold, yet still I catalog I should be in bed | Signs of spring labor - With every false contraction ten thousand hearts leap |
| Be ye addicted to combining, matey? Join Combiners! anon. | Oh no I've run short Already tagged two hundred now it's time to pay | In morning air tweets of anticipation flit: “Twaiting Collections” |
| Library 2.0 | Common Knowledge is Uncommonly addictive Leaves lie yet unraked | Poets, Pirates! Shun he who cries “Collections Ho!” on April Fools’ morn |
| Autumn winds lash me. Winter flurries sting my eyes. My OPAC hurts more. | I delight, knowing That my library lives on, On the Internets. | Categories planned, our interests peak, pumps all primed for when the bit flips |
| Sharing ideas Proletariat blogging What does Gorman know? | endless rows of shelves books that wait for a reader contagion of minds | Patience, pirates! - Crow must simmer for months before it's ready to eat. |
| It confuses me, Zed Thirty Nine Point Five Oh, But we must use it. | winter's credit crunch promotes spring's most popular @library_book | Does anyone know if we’re Waiting for Godot or The Great Pumpkin? |
| 2.0? Patrons enabled by tool mashups A shift in power! | amazing frankness! this is what makes this site so special to us all! | We promise you, Tim, once collections have arrived we'll still tag our books |
| Sockpuppets | Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!! (it's no use guessing) | |
| Despite puppetry most users agree that socks are better on feet | A harbinger of collections' pending release? No, just some haiku. | |
| One person or more? The sockpuppet lurks and is duly suspended. | Warm days and cold nights They call it earthquake weather Still nothing' shakin' | |
| Glacial attitudes thaw, flooding the Extreme Board with hopes of Springtime | ||
| The new convenant has everyone looking up Rainbow before Sun | ||
| After brief down time, A chance to read and savor: Features now revealed. | ||
| Perused but not owned, And possessed yet not read, all Welcome to now add. | ||
| Developing a Patient attitude makes one a better person. | ||
| Overrated, our Ontologies wax and wane: One, good as 'nother. | ||
| Collections ready? Check again in a fortnight. Eternal return. | ||
| Entranced by haikus, Collections long forgotten. Someone please save me! | ||
| Avast, me maties! Fine collections of treasured Books, and such like. Arrr.... | ||
| An LT wishlist that can be seen in All Books: Will it be worth it? | ||
| It seemed to be close Two weeks ago and more, but Now all is silence. | ||
| Haikus are but a Temporary distraction. Let's have progress now. | ||
| So many delays What are we waiting for now? Progress report, please. | ||
| My favorite one yet. I second _Zoe's_ request. So what's going on? | ||
| I've heard it before The long-awaited tool I'm not holding breath | ||
| winter is now past a long wait grows yet longer will April bring gifts? | ||
| teacups are empty many wait with bated breath - a watched pot won’t boil | ||
| leaves rustle softly books wait with long patience for concatenation | ||
| divide and conquer - scattered libraries will be reunited soon | ||
| My books, collecting nothing but dust. When will these Collections go live? | ||
| It's heretical, but I don't really need 'em. Tags work fine for me. :-P | ||
| For an Elephant Gestation's 22 months; We'd have one and change. | ||
| Clouds of dust settle While distant thunder retreats; The herd has moved on. | ||
| Sometimes an outage just means a sysadmin wakes; still no collections. | ||
| Chirps cut through silence, do birds break dawn in darkness? No. @%&^ing pager. | ||
| In southern darkness felius slumbers once more his work quickly done. | ||
| In morning sunshine we weep in disappointment: no collections yet. | ||
| Ice drips in the pond. Circular Venn diagrams Fading to nothing. | ||
| The spring birds twitter. Or does Tim tweet promises? Will they both lay eggs? | ||
| waiting as in scole here a sparkle there a fleck ha satisfaction | ||
| I have heard of it. Hmmm,does it really exist, Should I hold my breath? | ||
| The goldfinches dance, hope of spring. Collections now! I can't stand the wait. | ||
| While we may trigger Schrödinger's cat's demise, our uncertainty stays. | ||
| Which circle of hell is reserved for coders who prolong the wait? | ||
| From Hades' clutches none but a Vogon Orpheus can free this feature. | ||
| The sun rises everyday I check LT so frequently why aren't they here? | ||
| LT works best with tags unique as summer meadow's flowers who needs collections anyway? | ||
| An eon is ancient time when TIM first posted news that they will be here, soon! | ||
| Why fix what breaks? New Features grow all the time Tree limbs in the wind. | ||
| Perfect collections? Another idea in fractal mode How long do we wait? | ||
| Scales of balance will it work as we demand? How long do we wait? | ||
| Temporarily Down We hope with baited breath Is it for real today? | ||
| No-one here any more Like spring buds on a dead tree collections unfurls elsewhere | ||
| Yet another day Logged into LibraryThing No collections here | ||
| I click on the link I look at "Your Library"... Still no collections! | ||
| Should we change the word? Maybe the word "soon" should mean: It will never come. | ||
| collections reveal my library's paucity more "wishlist" than "bought" | ||
| LT users keep yearning for collections launch a secret from Tim | ||
| if time lies heavy add collections tags today ease traffic on launch | ||
| Thesis nearly done, Will have to get full time job If 'Collections' don't soon come | ||
| Such silence must mean Brains furiously working Hope in the quiet | ||
| Cherry blossoms bloom Tim tells us "Wait two more weeks" Collections don't come | ||
| Tomato season! Tim says "Two more weeks, I think" Collections don't come | ||
| Maple leaves are red Tim says "Collections? Two weeks" But they do not come | ||
| Snow falls in Portland Tim and Chris say "Just two weeks" Collections don't come | ||
| Cherry blossoms return Promises of two more weeks And yet still we wait | ||
| Sent forth as a wish Through the ether to be read Yet still is not owned | ||
| Collections are near! And I've a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you | ||
| A cure for cancer A worldwide end to hunger And Collections, please | ||
| I waited for you winterlong; my ice will thaw as spring brings wishlists
| ||
| Lust rises and falls my yearning for Collections like changing seasons | ||
| I await true Spring with pink flowery scents and Collections in bloom | ||
| Only the first buds Gold and silver they shimmered Now it has gone dark | ||
| Users with skewers Marshmallow puff collections Software shish kabob | ||
| first of April - Spring? no, thunder splits the grey clouds - snowing sideways, now. | ||
| Collections rumors, what is this conversation? Expectations fade. | ||
| no collections yet? the long awaited feature prompts my bad haiku. | ||
| Strutting sexily "Ready for close-up, Sir Dawg" Collections proclaims | ||
| blood on monitor teeth grind to gritty dead dust a scream chokes the throat | ||
| With a resounding *SMACK*, Mike and Luke have pulled loose from sticky widgets | ||
| will the time-sink of preparing for collections capture them instead? | ||
| Collections' Debut
| ||
| Spring and "soon" are here, New blooms blossom, all rejoice, Collections launches! | ||
| Spring brings collections And I have nothing more to Write Haiku about. |
