The good and bad at Facebook
So Facebook doesn’t want to play nice and just give you RSS feeds for a user’s status updates. Used to be you could do that, but not so much any longer. It appears you may be able to generate a status feed using the Graph API, but that’s seriously overkill for my needs. Besides, who wants to write a graph parser when RSS parsers are a dime a dozen?
At least they haven’t nuked the user notifications RSS feed. Not yet, at least. Once they do, there’s always this.

Not sure if this should be considered gentlemanly or passive-aggressive.
