Facebook Friends as RSS
I’m currently testing out a little perl script that will turn your “Recently Updated Profiles” page on The Facebook into an RSS feed. If this sounds interesting to you, drop me a comment.
Currently it works by using the “recently updated profiles” page to build a list of profile URLs. Then it fetches every recently updated profile, which lets it know the day the profile was last updated. The program hits facebook’s servers pretty hard and is slow to boot. With some caching I bet I can speed it up, but for now it’s too resource intensive to release to the public.
Another problem: if you read RSS feeds outside of your web browser (in Thunderbird, for example), you won’t be able to see anything, since facebook requires cookies. Sage works nicely in Firefox. Safari reads RSS itself, right?

Sounds cool. Something that I think I would defeinitely use as well would be a feed for the “My Photo Comments” page.

Sounds interesting. I want to add a facebook stream to my google/ig home page so I can see on there rather than having to keep loading facebook.

if i could syndicate all the facebook/myspace feeds into safari that would save me alot of wasted time I could spend revising

It seems to be the most compatible way of integrating facebook with other daily changing pages.
A google plugin would also do the job for me though

I am using a mobile app called Widsets and to create your own widget for Widsets, you require at least the RSS as a primary feeder.
This app will come handy as I am planning to exdend my facebook profile including friends and their stata to my own ASP/PHP website.
