@jugend: I've seen the rss links appearing on the wanted/read lists (as well as complete library). thanks!

Still doesn't appear on the reading list however. Can get that?

Would also be good to be able to get the wanted+reading combined list to stick on my blog!

It's a bug, I gotta fix it later, for workaround at the moment, just copy the wanted url and replace the category param value with 'reading'.

For combination, will let u know when it's up. :)

Sorry it's a bit late, bug fixed, and multiple categories is now supported through a pipe, e.g.

/people/jugend/books.rss?category=wanted|reading...

I've just taken a quick look at friendfeed documentation, seems like we have no control over what websites supported, if we'd like to see BookJetty on FriendFeed, please help suggest to them:

feedback(at)friendfeed.com

I've actually imported the "everything" feed (http://www.bookjetty.com/people/balaji_dutt/books) into FriendFeed as my "blog".. It works fine for me.

Although it does include updates on posts I made on forum topics here, so I might switch to the specific bookshelf feed now :)

I know of at least one service (Dopplr) that provides integration into Friendfeed by hooking into the FriendFeed API.

http://www.dopplr.com/account/friendfeed

Ofcourse it is more work for you, since you will have to read the API docs, have an interface for users to enter their Friendfeed account ID, and then run a cron job or something to update friendfeed regularly.

http://friendfeed.com/api/ (Link to API docs)

I for one would love Friendfeed integration with book images. Something like the Amazon wishlist entry here.. http://friendfeed.com/e/f6f92365-60b8-7d4a-90c0-3763e7c72...

Thanks for the suggestion deepak, there'll be definitely more work to integrate throught the API, but I'll keep the option open.

Meanwhile, let's live through RSS feed first. :)
