Request - https://www.goodreads.com/update_status with 'General Update' option

[Hudson]

Do you have a button that a user can press to share a 'General Update' type status update from our website?

If we could use _GET parameters on https://www.goodreads.com/update_status to set the status mode that would help solve the issue for us real fast.

What do you think?

What are you trying to do?

We are trying to allow our traffic to share the page they are on to the goodreads community. It's like a Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook general status share.

User clicks the goodreads button takes them to https://www.goodreads.com/update_stat... and crafts their general status and submits (with the link attached).

This way visitors won't be limited to the % of a book completed status template and can submit a general share status.

I've also tried really hard to use oauth to create a popup->authorize->post status funnel but failed at my first attempt. Going around oauth using the https://www.goodreads.com/update_stat... link would be easier and more ideal.

Any update?

Sounds like you should use user_status/create:
