Hello,

I’ve published a new 10-Minute Quick Start Guide for Facebooker  
showing you how to use the Facebook API using the Facebooker Ruby  
library in 5 easy steps:

o Checkout the Facebooker source from Subversion  
o Build and install the Facebooker gem  
o Log on to Facebook and setup your new application  
o Create your Ruby script (aka Facebook desktop app)  
o Run your Ruby script (Paste the URL into your web browser and  
login, hit return to continue (in your shell)).

That’s it. More @ [http://rfacebook.wordpress.com/2008/01/05/desktop](http://rfacebook.wordpress.com/2008/01/05/desktop)

```
Cheers.
