Hello,

FYI: I’ve published a Facebooker version of the Quick Start Guide  
that creates a Twitter-style “What are you doing?” message using the  
Facebook API in seven steps:

o Create a Rails application  
o Install the Facebooker Rails plugin  
o Log on to Facebook and set up a new application  
o Add your API key and secret to the facebooker.yml configuration  
file  
o Create Rails controller (and view skeletons)  
o Configure default route and remove public/index.html page  
o Use Facebooker to get your name, profile pic and status

```
