HungryMachine is a web development group specialized in Ruby on Rails and they are very into facebook and decided to develop and release a widget, with the particularity that the widget debuted only on Facebook. making it a widget to facebook only widget, something that goes completely the other way around to what you usually are used to. because the commong ground is to release for the web and then release a facebook version, but they seem so comfortable with facebook and i guess this would be the way to make a point across.
The widget in question allows you to show what you are reading, what you have already read by sectioning a bookshelf to share with others, that way your facebook contacts can check it out.
as with al things Facebook, the word widget should come with the word module along it.
It is a good widget but not a usal one and the particularity of being facebook exclusive, makes it worth of checking it out and is interesting how facebook has affected the widgetosphere (yeah, i said it) too.

Is there a one page statement that simply and clearly tells each step for starting and using Bisual Bookshelf?
@Philip Duffy: will look into it.
I am using Visual Bookshelf on my personal Facebook account and it works great.
I also have a Facebook Group on Depth Psychology of which I am the administrator.
Is it possible to use the Visual Bookshelf for my Group as opposed to using my personal Visual Bookshelf.
Using Visual Bookshelf for my Group would be terrific as it would allow Group members to enter the books they have read or wish to suggest on the topic of Depth Psychology.
Any input on how I might do this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
