Migrate Shelfari Widget to Goodreads Widget: Shelfari is merging with Goodreads. For the past few years, Amazon has supported two online communities of readers: Shelfari and Goodreads. Both services share the same mission - helping readers find new books and share their reading - so it makes sense to merge them and create a great experience for readers on just one platform: Goodreads. Amazon plans to complete the transition of the Shelfari community onto Goodreads by March 16, 2016. It looks like it's pretty easy to move the lists over to Goodreads. The widgets from Goodreads are easy to implement, too.
