Want to add popular books to your Facebook App?
We've been working with facebook on the recently announced custom tag support. This lets Facebook developers share custom tags across applications.
We have lots of ideas for this, but to start, we've built a popular books widget.
<books:popular category="classics" />
You can provide it a category, such as "nonfiction", or "classics", and we'll display the recently popular books in that category. Currently, the valid categories include: (nonfiction, classics, kids, fantasy, mystery).
Just insert the sample FBML below into your application. Thats it!
We have lots of ideas for future tags, but what do you want us to build? Let us know in the discussion below!
