"I want to read" button shows on books I'm currently reading

I've just noticed that if I visit the page of a book I'm reading (for example http://www.booksiamreading.com/book/c...) an "I want to read" button is displayed, even though I'm currently reading the book.

Maybe it should be replaced with an "I've finished reading" button instead?

Community information on book pages?

At the moment a book's page (eg http://www.booksiamreading.com/book/c...) only displays the books' title, cover and author. Maybe some community info could be incorporated in there too - the people who've read it, comments, popularity ranking, etc?

Wow. Ping.fm supporting OpenID for signing in will be fantastic. I look forward to it. :)

On the topic of using Ping.fm with services that have an OpenID login, I'd to suggest a possible solution: many of these sites allow the user to specify multiple OpenIDs for signing in to their account. Maybe Ping.fm could require the user to add an additional OpenID (one that the site does control) to their account, which the site can then use to sign in?
I don't know whether it would be technically possible, and if it is I'm guessing it would require a lot of work - Ping.fm would essentially have to become an OpenID provider (albeit, maybe not one which offers OpenIDs publicly). It's just an idea.

Allow signing in with Bebo username, and not just email address.

As per title.
Bebo allows users to sign in with a username or email address, but ping.fm only allows your email address for updating Bebo. I'm so used to signing into to Bebo with my username, I had to login and check which email address I'd signed up with - kinda inconvenient.
