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.

  1. On second thought. they may have killed the user notification feed. LastBuildDate is 31 December, 2010 at 10:42:09 -0600. I’m guessing they turned the generator service off at the new year. There is no TTL which would indicate this is a permanent file these days.
